About the author
The American National Red Cross, commonly known as the American Red Cross, was founded in 1881 by Clara Barton after she learned about the international Red Cross movement in Europe. Barton led the organization for more than two decades and helped shape its early mission of bringing aid to people affected by war and disaster.
Over time, the organization expanded far beyond its beginnings. According to the Red Cross's own history, it developed the first nationwide civilian blood program in the 1940s and today continues to provide disaster relief, health and safety training, blood services, and support for military members, veterans, and their families.
Its history is closely tied to Barton's life of public service, which is why readers often encounter the organization alongside biographies of its founder. The Red Cross remains one of the most recognizable humanitarian institutions in the country, built on a large network of volunteers and donors.
