Twenty years before founding the American Red Cross, Clara Barton distributed supplies and tended to the wounded and dying on Civil War battlefields. Although not the only woman engaged in such work, Barton became one of the most famous because of her efforts to identify dead and missing soldiers, especially those who perished in the Confederate prison located in Andersonville, Georgia. Due to Barton's perseverance, 12,000 graves were officially marked and Andersonville became a national cemetery on August 17, 1865. Barton, who raised the U.S. flag on that day, was overcome by emotion. She writes in her diary "Up and there it drooped as if in grief and sadness, till at length the sunlight streamed out and its beautiful folds filled the men stuck up the Star Spangled Banner, and I covered my face and wept."Illus. in: Harper's weekly, 1865 Oct., p. 633.Exhibited in: American Treasures of the Library of Congress, 2005.Illus. in AP2.H32 Case Y [P&P]92500082ppmsca 05602 //hdl.loc.gov/loc.pnp/ppmsca.05602LC-DIG-ppmsca-05602 (digital file from original) LC-USZ62-95101 (b&w film copy neg.)[published 1865]http://rightsstatements.org/vocab/NKC/1.0/Morgan collection of Civil War drawings (Library of Congress)United States--History--Civil War, 1861-1865--Cemeteries--UnionCemeteries--Georgia--Andersonville--1860-1870Thunder Bolt Bat[ter]y from RearStillImage
