Who Was Clara Barton?

By Stephanie Spinner

Who was Clara Barton is a great book. It was a story of her life from the day she was born to the day she died. It told a lot about how she helped so many people. It told who her parents and siblings were and where she moved to. It also told all of the jobs she had and gave you a look at what people’s life was like back then. Of course, it had some gross spots in it because she was a nurse in the civil war. It also told how Doctor’s did stuff back then.
