Clarrisa Harlowe Barton (1821-1912) was a pioneering American nurse who founded the American Red Cross. She was a hospital nurse in the American Civil War, a teacher, and patent clerk. Nursing education was not very formalized at that time and she did not attend nursing school, so she provided self-taught nursing care. During the war she filled a void left by the U.S. Government, the U.S. Sanitary Commission and the U.S. Christian Commission, to supply wounded and suffering Union soldiers with their basic needs in nutrition, clothes and medical attention.
