Clarissa Harlowe Barton (December 25, 1821 – April 12, 1912), better known as Clara Barton, was a daughter of abolishionists and a pioneer American teacher, nurse, and humanitarian. After her years of work administering medical aid to soldiers during the Civil War, and her dedicated work searching for missing soldiers debilitated Barton's health, in 1869 she was prescibed a restful trip to Europe. While overseas, Barton became involved with the International Committee of the Red Cross. When Clara Barton returned to the United States, she inaugurated a movement to gain recognition of the International Committee of the Red Cross by the United States government. When she began this organizing work in 1873, most Americans thought the U.S. would never again face a calamity like the Civil War, but Barton finally succeeded during the administration of President James Garfield, using the argument that the new American Red Cross could respond to crises other than war. As Barton expanded the original concept of the Red Cross to include assisting in any great national disaster, this service brought the United States the "Good Samaritan of Nations" label. Barton is also remembered for her activisim in sufferage for women and African Americans. From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
