Antietam Founder Clara Barton Remembered in Red Cross History
The piece recalls Clara Barton’s Antietam work that helped launch the American Red Cross and frames her actions as universal aid beyond partisan lines. It notes her 1862 Harpers Ferry mission, the battlefront nursing, and later recognition with the Geneva Conventions, tying to Lincoln’s Emancipation Proclamation and the centennial commemorations.
