Showing Woman of Valor: Clara Barton and the Civil War by Stephen B. Oates

A Woman of Valor Drawing on archival material, Oates renders Clara Barton's wartime experience as one no else can do. Though Barton's personal exploits as a nurse have been obscured by the legacy of the Red Cross, Oates persuades readers that her experience on the killing fields of the Civil War was her most extraordinary achievement.
