The Life of Clara Barton


Born on December 25, 1821, Clara Barton was a Christmas gift for the whole family. Her sisters taught her how to read, her brother taught her how to ride a horse and to play ball, and her other brother taught her arithmetic. When she was a teenager she taught school. When she was on the battlefield she bandaged wounded soldiers and fed them. I thought she was interesting because she was the first woman to go on to the battlefield. She is interesting because she could have gotten shot.
