(Stephen B. Oates, drawing on archival materials not previously used, has written here the first complete account of Clara Barton's active engagement in the Civil War. By the summer of 1862 with no institutional affiliation or official government appointment, Clara Barton made her way to the front lines and the heat of battle, and here Oates tells the dramatic story of this woman who supplied medical relief to the wounded at some of the most famous battles of the war-including Second Bull Run, Antietam, Fredericksburg, Battery Wagner, the Wilderness, Spotsylvania, and Petersburg. Under fire with only her will as her shield, she worked while ankle deep in gore, in make-shift battlefield hospitals, a bullet-riddled farmhouse, a crumbling mansion and windblown tents. )
