The Red Cross : a history of this remarkable international movement in the interest of humanity

1899 NURSING Clara Barton Red Cross Civil War Medicine Surgery 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 1899 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.
