Clara Barton, Art Print
b. 12-25-1821; Oxford, MA
d. 4-13-1912
Humanitarian Clara Barton was a teacher and nurse who is remembered for her work with wounded in the American Civil War and organizing the American Red Cross. The International Committee of the Red Cross had been established in Europe "to protect the victims of international and internal armed conflicts... the war wounded, prisoners, refugees, civilians, and other non-combatants." Barton could only 'sell' the idea of the Red Cross with the expanded vision including any great national disaster because post-Civil War Americans could not image the US would ever be involved in another conflict as horrendous as the Civil War.

Mary Ann Bickerdyke, b. 7-19-1817 in Knox County, Ohio practiced 'botanic' medicine as a means of supporting herself and sons after the death of her husband prior to the Civil War. Sent with medical supplies by the community of Galesburg, Illinois to help wounded Union soldiers, she won the confidence of U.S. Grant who appointed her his chief of nursing, and the appreciation of the soldiers who called her "Mother". By the end of the Civil War Bickerdyke had built 300 hospitals and helped the wounded in 19 battlefields. After the Civil War she became an attorney and helped veterans with legal issues. She died 11-8-1901 at her home in Bunker Hill, Kansas. |
