Lyon, 1898; 1st Edition A scarce 1898 1st Edition, in wonderful condition, from one of the most important women of the 19th century and founder of the American Red Cross. 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 1898 first edition of The Red Cross engagingly details the history of the American Red Cross and is thoroughly expanded and contains new information not in previous Barton works, including relief work in the Civil War, Texas famines, Michigan forest fires, the Spanish-American War, Armenians in Kurds in Ottoman Turkey (Western Armenia) and many more.
