To the Front!

Clara Barton - we think of her as the person who started the American Red Cross. Before she did that, she was known as the “Angel of the Battlefield.” She came to the battlefields of the Civil War, tending wounded soldiers and giving them aid. Her work on the battlefield gained her national notoriety, but she didn't want that. She simply wanted to tend those who were wounded, and aid them.

This book was amazing! I absolutely loved reading it, and getting a deeper look at Clara Barton, and her work on the Antietam battlefield, and the work that she put into caring for the soldiers - as well as the work that she did for the soldiers during the Civil War.

This book is perfect for kids - and it has some great historical facts at the last part of the book. Highly recommend reading this one as a family!
