The Maréchale

Catherine Booth-Clibborn was the eldest daughter of Salvation Army founders General William and Catherine Booth. Her profound interest in the French language and her captivating ability as a public speaker made her the obvious choice to spread the mission of the Salvation Army to the European continent. But when she and her four young lieutenants arrived in Paris, they met with incredible resistance that threatened to end their work before it had begun. The story of bravery, persecution and imprisonment that followed won her the respect of the world and the military title which would become her second name... The Maréchale.
