“I may be compelled to face danger, but never fear it.”
attributed to Clara Barton
Barton was a teacher and a US Patent Office clerk — one of the first women employed by the federal government — when the Civil War began. She gathered her own supplies and took them directly to field hospitals at Cedar Mountain, Antietam and Fredericksburg, working under fire close enough that a bullet passed through her sleeve and killed the man she was tending. After the war Lincoln backed her Office of Missing Soldiers, which identified more than 22,000 men. In Europe she saw the International Red Cross at work during the Franco-Prussian War, came home and campaigned until the American Red Cross was founded in 1881. She led it for twenty-three years.
