This book was fascinating in that it took place in New York City during the Civil War and depicted the war from a new angle. You so seldom read about the immigrants at the time and the poverty. I had heard the term "rag picker" but did not understand what it meant to be one. This is a must read in that it deals with women and how they dealt with pregnancies.
