This book is a concise, interpretive account of the life of Clara
Barton from her childhood in Massachusetts through her feats of
heroism during the Civil War, her founding of the American Red
Cross, which she led for 20 years, and her bitterly contested
ejection from office which clouded her last decade. Clara Barton
(1821-1912) led a life "in the service of humanity." Undoubtedly
heroic and undoubtedly generous in her impulse to aid others, she
nonetheless remained a self-centered individual who could brook
neither criticism nor ingratitude. Her life story is told here with
sympathy and understanding without sacrificing candor or honesty.
