Clara Barton
When she first started organizations towards helping wounded soldiers, she didn't want it to be a huge thing and she didn't want it to be a press issue. She had to make it public when she needed donations however. She followed army operations for three years after the U.S. Surgeon General William A. Hammond granted her a general pass to travel with army ambulances.
She was educated at home. When she was fifteen she started teaching school. She established a free public school in Bordentown, NJ.
Clara Barton founded the American Red Cross in 1881. She resigned as head of the American Red Cross in 1904. She died at her home in Glen Echo, outside Washington D.C. on April 12th 1912.
Clara Barton had two 'rules of action.' they were: 'unconcern for what cannot be helped.' 'control under pressure.'
