Project: Frontier Nursing Service Oral History Project
Interview Summary
Elizabeth Boyd first became acquainted with the FNS and its Chicago Committee in the early 1930s. She recalls committee meetings in the Drake Hotel and cites Mary Breckinridge's effect upon people as "electric." Boyd visited Wendover in 1936, when her daughter served as a courier, and again years later. She comments that contributors and personnel were attracted to the FNS by Breckinridge's description of the local people, the characteristics of the general area, and the fact that horses were used by the nurses.Interview Accession
