About this title

Synopsis

A concise introduction of the largest and most diverse service organization in the United States, the American Red Cross. This First Edition features more than 300 photographs culled from the Red Cross archives. Here are the extraordinary people who played a major role in forming the Red Cross from Clara Barton, Mabel Boardman, Jane Delano, Wilbert E. Longfellow to the WWI ambulance driver, Ernest Hemingway. Here are the major disasters to which the Red Cross brought relief from the Spainish-American War to WWI to the San Francisco Earthquake to the Dust Bowl of the Depression to Korea to Vietnam and even the peacetime era. A fascinating look at this great organization, published in cooperation with the American Red Cross.
