Publishers Description: Angels of Augustus is very readable with its outback appeal, humour and a lively narrative of the heartwarming and heartbreaking experiences of the nursing pioneers of our nation. It is a unique and important record of the men and women who made up a large cross-section of Australian social and medical heritage and our amusing outback lifestyle, as well as being a pre-history of several current district nursing centres including our well-loved Queensland Blue Nurses. While the text portrays Methodists in the 1940s accurately and reverently, it is not a preachy book - its strong points are social compassion, and relevance to todays widespread district health care.
