From the fall of 1918 to summer 1919, six YWCA women are attached
to the North Russia Expeditionary Forces, an international military
mission posted in the city of Arkhangelsk, North Russia. With this
change, Clara Taylor's second year working for the YWCA in Russia
turns out to be vastly different from her previous year in Moscow.
No longer teaching home economics or surveying factory conditions,
Clara now finds herself dancing with soldiers at parties, then
learning of their deaths in action the next day; reading to ill
soldiers in the hospital; and serving hot coffee to ragtag men on
the front lines of the Vologda railroad front in the bitter Russian
winter. Throughout, she remains strong, courageous, and dedicated
to her ideals of service. Even her own hospitalization for
appendicitis does not stop her from supporting others in an
untenable situation. Able to let loose about her own political
views in these letters, Clara writes scathing commentary about the
ineptitude of the military command. She also writes of the frozen
landscape, the astounding beauty of the northern lights,
homesickness, the strength of the Russian people, and, finally, the
overwhelming joy of returning home to her family.
