Clara Barton Autographs
Clara Barton was a pioneer nurse who was born on December 25, 1821, in Oxford, Massachusetts. She is best known for founding the American Red Cross. Barton was a nurse during the American Civil War, providing nursing care and supplies to wounded soldiers. After the war ended, she continued her volunteer work, traveling to Europe to work with the International Red Cross.
Barton's work as a nurse during the Civil War earned her the nickname "Angel of the Battlefield." She worked on the front lines, often under fire, to care for wounded soldiers. She established the Office of Correspondence with Friends of the Missing Men of the United States Army to help families find missing soldiers. After the war, she continued to work with the government to locate missing soldiers and identify those who had died on the battlefield. This led her to create the Bureau of Records of Missing Men of the United States Army, which she headed until it was consolidated with other agencies.
Barton's work with the International Red Cross led her to bring the concept of the Red Cross to the United States. She founded the American Red Cross in 1881, with the goal of providing humanitarian aid to those affected by natural disasters, as well as war. Barton led the organization for 23 years, during which time it grew to become one of the country's largest and most respected humanitarian organizations. Today, the American Red Cross provides assistance and relief to millions of people around the world, a testament to Barton's vision and legacy.
