Clara Barton Books

Clara Barton was – and still is – a prominent figure in the world of humanitarian aid. Her efforts during the American Civil War saw many soldiers rescued from otherwise untimely deaths, and her later work to establish the American branch of the Red Cross has affected millions of people across the United States for well over 100 years now.

Naturally, such a woman has plenty of Clara Barton books written about her. If you’re interested in Barton you might want to look at Clara Barton: In the Service of Humanity, by David Henry Burton (is that last name just a coincidence?). Or non-fiction picture book Clara Barton: Angel of the Battlefield, written by Allison Lassieur and illustrated by Brian Pascale. Or perhaps Clara Barton: Founder of the American Red Cross by Augusta Stevenson. Given how Barton herself so enjoyed books, she’d probably approve your reading any of the above.
