More information

Clara Barton - Angel of the Battlefield

Clara Barton was a real-life "action figure." She didn't just talk about supporting people in need of help - she did it. During the American Civil War, she cared for wounded soldiers. In 1881, this hard working woman started the American Red Cross, an organization which helps many people today and continues Clara's work of COMPASSION.

Quotes:

"I may be compelled to face danger, but never fear it, and while our soldiers can stand and fight, I can stand and feed and nurse them."

"Everybody's business is nobody's business, and nobody's business is my business."

Dec 25, 1821 - Apr 12, 1912
