 Before Clara Barton earned the nickname of “The Angel of the Battlefield” from taking care of wounded soldiers during the Civil War, and before she founded the American Red Cross, she was very shy. She had to be home-schooled because her classmates teased her so badly because of her lisp. Clara’s best friends were plants and animals. She was so good at taking care of these living things, that her older brother Davie always knew she would grow up to be a great lady.
