Who was Clara Barton？For most people,the easy answer to that question is that she was a
nurse during the Civil War.The truth is that her Work during the war represents a small part of
a long,extraordinary life.Barton never married and never had children.Instead of devoting
herself to one family,she worked much more widely.And while she focused on the needs of
humanity,she became famous at a time when women were not expected to have full lives
outside their homes and families.
Barton was described as an extremely shy child.But she is remembered today as a fearless
advocate for people in need.She also met powerful men-lawmakers,generals,and world
leaders-who became supporters in her work to help others.
When the Civil War began in 1861，Henry Wilson met Barton when they both tried to organize
supplies and aid for injured soldiers arriving in the nation's capital.As the chairman of the
Military Affairs Committee,Wilson knew how the government functioned and how to make
things happen.Barton knew she wanted to be actively involved in helping soldiers.Working as a
team,Wilson and Barton aided each other in their efforts during the war.
Major General Benjamin F.Butler met Barton during the war,too.He was commander of the
Army of the James,which fought in Virginia and North Carolina.He put Barton in charge of
nursing in a mobile hospital.When he later became governor of Massachusetts,he appointed
Barton in charge of the Massachusetts Reformatory Prison.
During Barton's first visit to Europe,she met Swiss doctor Louis Appia.Appia was one of the
founders of the International Committee of the Red Cross.Although Barton had not heard of the
organization，Appia was familiar with Barton's work during the Civil War.Their meeting gave 第3页，共22页 Barton the idea to establish the American Red Cross.She spent a decade persuading American
leaders to support the organization.
Today,the American Red Cross encourages people to continue to pursue the goal to which
Barton devoted her life：Work together and help one another when disaster strikes.That may be
Clara Barton's greatest legacy（遗产）.
