Children will enjoy listening to early evidence of young Clara Barton's calling such as when Patch, her beloved dog, is injured, and Clara nurses him back to health. They will sympathize with her boarding school days when she is snubbed because she is too shy to talk to other girls. But her shyness disappears when she assists the local doctor.©1946 Bobba-merrill Co., Inc.

Featured Article: The Gilded Age in History and Fiction


While fans of Julian Fellowes’s Gilded Age may be gagging on the luxurious costumes and sumptuous sets, part of the fun is sorting out fact from fiction in the HBO period drama. With a mix of invented characters and actual historical figures—such as society queen Caroline Astor and African American newspaper editor and civil rights leader T. Thomas Fortune—enthusiasts have plenty of resources available so they can learn the truth about the extravagant era when wealthy railroad magnates and other arrivistes were upending late 19th-century New York City society and culture.

I always knew Clara Barton founded the U.S. American Red Cross. I did not realize the hurdles she overcame, to even get to the point where she could have her voice counted in such matters. Bravo, to one of my idols!

Illuminating!

I really love this book. I think it would be amazing for students who want to learn about Clara Barton. The last paragraph in this book is very interesting as it apparently does not seem to be happening in modern society.

While I love the story of Clara Barton and was excited to share it with my daughter, the book began with a vignette about the white settlers’ war with „the Indians” that was so outdated and awful in 2021. Looks like Clara Barton’s biography needs an updated rewrite. I’m disappointed in Audible for offering this kind of white-centric literature on your site.

Disappointing stereotypes

This book should not be read to anyone and especially not children unless it is to point out white supremacy and bias in a high school or college course.
