Clara Barton was born in Oxford in 1821. Even as a child， she wanted to help others. When she was still a teenager， she became a teacher and taught for about fourteen years. She once taught at a private school where she was paid by the parents， but it made her sad to see other children whose parents could not afford their fees. So she offered to teach those children without paying if the town would provide a place for her to teach. Soon she had 600 students！
When the Civil War started， she wanted to help the soldiers， so she gave up her job. She got permission from the War Department to go to the front line （前线） of the battlefield. She was called the angel of the battlefield. She almost lost her life， but she continued to serve.
In Europe， they had an organization called the International Red Cross. She saw the good work they were doing， and when she returned to America three years later， she began working to get the Red Cross set up in the United States. She gave speeches and talked to people in the government. After eight years of hard work， she set up the American Red Cross and served as its president for 23 years.
At first， the Red Cross only served soldiers， but Clara saw that others needed help when floods， earthquakes， and other disasters happened. Today we see the Red Cross at work when we have disasters. The dedication （奉献） and generosity of one woman， Clara Barton， has had great effects.
