Clara Barton and the American Red Cross, Vol. 0 Book

This book is wonderful. I read it when I was younger, and Clara Barton became an obsession. (We're talking Halloween costume obsession.) It was so fun, and it triggered my liking for biographies, and that led me to a lot of new people in American History I might not have ever known. This book was definitely written for children of a younger age, and some of the stories they talked about were more geared towards children understanding and relating. For example, there was a passage where Clara nd her brother David were racing on horses, and she refused to let him beat just because he was 11 years older. There was a lot of dialouge there, things that no one would have really known she had said. So there were some liberities taken, but overall those added to the story and made it great read. :)
