Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "No one can read the book without feeling his faith strengthened in the innate nobleness of human nature. - Health: A Home Magazine "The finish of one chapter almost involuntarily draws the reader into the next one." -Red Cross Bulletin There is no organization in the world more justly entitled to the reverence and admiration of the people than that of the Red Cross, and no individual in this broad land that more thoroughly enjoys the respect and love of its citizens than the estimable Clara Barton. Therefore Barton's 1904 book "A Story of the Red Cross: Glimpses of Field Work," recounting as it does the work performed by the Society under her direction, scarcely needs any more extended introduction to public notice than the name of the author. The Red Cross was established to help in the cases of sudden disaster. Its story therefore is the story of many great catastrophes, such as the Texas famine and the Mount Vernon cyclone, 18851888; Yellow fever in Florida, 1887; The Johnstown flood, 1889; The Russian famine, 1891; The sea island relief, 1893; Armenian relief, 1896; Cuba, 18g8; and Galveston, 1900. The thrilling feature of the narrative is the simple telling of the work of reconstruction and the unsparing efforts of the volunteer relief agents to minister to the unfortunate and bring light out of the darkness. In this connection-and this is what gives the book a particular value-the author explains the system of general operation, and the relationship between the Red Cross and the affiliated relief organizations. Among the millions that have admired and praised the work of the Society, few can realize the hardships encountered, the self-denial practised by this noble band of workers; but any one who can read the author's simple yet dramatic recital of its achievements without feeling his cheek wet with the tear of sympathy and his heart glowing with admiration, must indeed be devoid of natural feeling. The motif of the work is disclosed in the first two pages-that a dissertation upon the aims and purposes of the Society was not what people desired, so much as an account of what it did. That the book accomplishes this task successfully none will deny. Anything more thrilling and pathetic than the account of "Yellow Fever in Florida" it would be hard to conceive; while "The Johnstown Flood," "Cuba," and "Galveston" are no whit behind as noble examples of devotion to duty.

About the author: Clara Barton (1821 - 1912) was a pioneering 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 Clara did not attend nursing school, so she provided self-taught nursing care. Barton is noteworthy for doing humanitarian work at a time when relatively few women worked outside the home. Other works by Barton include: The Red Cross-In Peace and War (1898) The Story of My Childhood (1907)

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The iconic relief organization’s activities over a half century of history, through wars, epidemics, and other disasters: “Well-researched . . . fascinating.” —Julia F. Irwin, Bulletin of the History of Medicine In dark skirts and bloodied boots, Clara Barton fearlessly ventured onto Civil War battlefields to tend to wounded soldiers. She later worked with civilians in Europe during the Franco-Prussian War, lobbied legislators to ratify the Geneva conventions, and founded and ran the American Red Cross. The American Red Cross from Clara Barton to the New Deal tells the story of the charitable organization from its start in 1881, through its humanitarian aid during wars, natural disasters, and the Depression, to its relief efforts of the 1930s. Marian Moser Jones illustrates the tension between the organization’s founding principles of humanity and neutrality and the political, economic, and moral pressures that sometimes caused it to favor one group at the expense of another. This book tells the stories of: • U.S. natural disasters such as the Jacksonville yellow fever epidemic of 1888, the Sea Islands hurricane of 1893, and the 1906 San Francisco earthquake • crises abroad, including the 1892 Russian famine and the Armenian massacres of 1895–96 • efforts to help civilians affected by the civil war in Cuba • power struggles within the American Red Cross leadership and subsequent alliances with the American government • the organization’s expansion during World War I • race riots and massacres in East St. Louis, Chicago, and Tulsa between 1917 and 1921 • help for African American and white Southerners after the Mississippi flood of 1927 • relief projects during the Dust Bowl and after the New Deal An epilogue relates the history of the American Red Cross since the beginning of World War II and illuminates the organization’s current practices and international reputation.

Book excerpt: "Blood, Sweat and Tears: An Oral History of the American Red Cross, is the story of the modern-day Red Cross told through the voices of twenty-nine current and former Red Cross paid and volunteer staff from all parts of the country. The stories range from that of a World War II veteran who credits the Red Cross packages with keeping him alive when he was a POW in Germany to Americans who became heroes simply because they signed up for a Red Cross course and were later able to save a life, to volunteers who spent an intense year in Vietnam cheering up soldiers. We hear from the staffer who pulled people from an automobile before the medics arrive; the mom who saved a neighbor's child when he was drowning; the nurse who took off from her job to go half-way around the world to distribute food and supplies to victims of the tsunami that struck the day after Christmas 2004."--BOOK JACKET.

Book excerpt: A pioneer of humanitarianism and founder of the International Red Cross, Henry Dunant was many things over his lifetime. A devout Christian and social activist, an ambitious but failed businessman, a humanitarian genius, and a bankrupt recluse. In this biography, Corinne Chaponnière reveals the tumultuous trajectory of Henry's life. From his idyllic childhood in Geneva, she follows Henry through the horrors of the Battle of Solferino, his creation of the Red Cross and role in the Geneva Conventions, the disgrace of his bankruptcy and his resurrection as a Nobel Peace Prize winner. It shows how this champion of wounded soldiers and prisoners of war was not an unblemished picture of piety and goodness, but that his empathy and good works played out in tandem with his social ambition and personal drive. It shows how even the best of us fall on hard times, and that the Red Cross was born out of humanitarian ideals coupled with a desire for personal success. This book reveals the story of Henry Dunant, blemishes and all, against the backdrop of the horrors of war, the weight of religion and the birth of humanitarianism in the 19th century.
Download or read book Pioneers in Paradise written by Sophie Britten and published by Gatekeeper Press. This book was released on 2022-02-10 with total page 475 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book tells the hundred-year history of Three Rivers, California, from the 1850s to the 1950s. Three Rivers has always been a special place, one of rolling wooded hills, nestled close to the High Sierra mountains. Those mountains feed the rivers that give the place its name. It was an ideal place for the pioneers of this story to settle. The book is divided into two basic parts. The first tells the story of events and places, what life was like for those hardy souls who homesteaded in these hills. The second part relates stories and histories about individual people and their families: when they came to Three Rivers, when they arrived, and how their lives and the lives of their families were impacted by living here. Did they thrive? Did they go elsewhere to search for their dream? The author has endeavored to answer these questions. Book Review: "I am a local history buff and long-time member of the Tulare County Historical Society. When publications appear that pique my interest in Tulare County History, I usually acquire them. The author and her family are well known and highly respected in the Three Rivers area. Ms. Britten's contribution to the area's history by recording the background and lives of its pioneers is well done." -- Evan Long
