A Woman of Valor
Clara Barton and the Civil War. Stephen B. Oates.
When the Civil War broke out, Clara Barton wanted to be a Union soldier,
an impossible dream for a five-foot tall 39-year-old woman. Determined to
serve, she became a veritable soldier, a nurse, and a one-woman relief
agency operating in the heart of the conflict. And although Barton went on
to found the Red Cross, the accomplishment for which she is best known,
this book convinces us that her experience on the killing fields of the
Civil War was her most extraordinary achievement. 537 pgs., 30 B&W
illustrations, 6"x 9", sfbd. |
