"Lord God of Hosts, be with us yet,/Lest we forget -- lest we forget." New England schoolteacher
Clara Barton (1821-1912) began her charitable work during the American Civil War,
organizing a means of distributing medical supplies to doctors and field hospitals and relief
supplies to soldiers and civilians. While visiting Europe (1869-1870), she utilized her
organizational abilities to help victims of the Franco-Prussian War. During that time, Barton
became involved with the International Red Cross, and she returned home determined to
establish a similar organization in the U.S. Her subsequent founding of the American branch
in 1881 encouraged the U.S. to sign the 1882 Geneva Treaty that ensured the treatment of the
wounded during battle and the return of the dead. From 1882 to 1904, Barton served as
President of the American Red Cross, often personally taking on relief cases until she was in
her 80s.Frame has minor chipping on bottom left. Framed in the Gallery of History style:
18¼x22.
