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, wonderful 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 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）.
