"Catherine Booth — a Sketch" by Mildred Duff is a biographical account detailing the life of Catherine Booth, co-founder of The Salvation Army, written during the late 19th century.

The beginning of the book offers a preface by General Bramwell Booth, which establishes the context for Catherine's life story. He highlights her exceptional relationship with God from a young age and her unwavering commitment to bringing souls to Christ. This portion introduces us to her childhood in Derbyshire, showing how early experiences shaped her character, nurturing qualities like truthfulness, love for the Bible, and empathy towards others, including animals. We learn that her spiritual journey began in her youth, characterized by struggles with faith and the development of a profoundly compassionate outlook towards social issues, particularly exemplified by her early activism against alcohol and her commitment to improving the lives of those around her.
