In this installment of Pioneering Women of Civil War America ~ Clara Barton, a six-year-old female Avatar from the Clara Barton Elementary School of Anaheim (California) Elementary School District interviews a talking picture of Clara Barton. The eight minutes of this highly creative and entertaining video, titled “History of Clara Barton,” passes by with the blink of an eye in covering a biographical sketch of the woman, who most famously became known as the “Angel of the Battlefield” during the American Civil War. Especially highlighted is her fulfilling life as a teacher, principal, clerk in the United States Patent Office, nurse, humanitarian/social reformer, lecturer, creator of the Office of Missing Soldiers, founder and first president of the American Red Cross, and activist of woman’s suffrage and equal rights and civil rights for freedmen.

Happy Viewing,

Lisa Y. Potocar
