1898 Nursing 1ed Clara
Barton Red Cross Civil War Medicine Texas Illustrated
“You must never so much think as whether you
like it or not, whether it is bearable or not; you must never think of anything
except the need, and how to meet it.”
– Clara Barton
Clara Barton spent much of her life helping people. She taught and
helped care for soldiers on the battlefield during the Civil War, earning the
name "Angel of the Battlefield." After going to Europe and learning
about an organization there called the Red Cross, she decided to start one in
America. As founder of the American Red Cross, which helps victims of natural
disasters as well as war, Clara Barton sealed her place in history.
This 1898 first edition of “The
Red Cross” catalogues the history of the American Red Cross and is
thoroughly expanded from the 1883 edition. It contains new information not in
previous iterations and examines relief work in the Civil War, Texas famines,
Michigan forest fires, the Spanish-American War, and many more.
