| Publisher Description: Clara Barton (1821-1912) was a social activist who served as a nurse during the U.S. Civil War and who founded the American Red Cross. Originally published in 1918 as a portion of the author's larger "Clara Barton, Humanitarian," this paperback edition describes Barton's early life and teaching career, her tireless efforts in the U.S. Civil War, her founding of the American Red Cross, and her selfless service in such strife-torn arenas as the Franco-Prussian War, the Johnstown Floods, the Russian Famine, the South Carolina Tidal Wave, Armenia, the Spanish-American War and the Galveston Tidal Wave. |
