While Barton's stories have been embellished, Pfanz skillfully demonstrates how her actual life's work during and after the war was truly valiant. . . . Those with an interest in nursing and the advent of humanitarian relief should read this narrative for its attention to detail and exhaustive research. Pfanz presents an accurate account of Barton's quest to help others. --Journal of Southern History A compelling portrait of Barton herself. . . . Mr. Pfanz succeeds in his goal of producing a more realistic record of Baron's Civil War accomplishments. He concludes that, despite the discrepancies between legend and reality, Baron's story is no less remarkable. Clara Baron, he writes, deserved the encomiums she received. --The Wall Street Journal Barton's accomplishments really needed no embellishment, by her or others. It was a life well-lived in service to soldiers, veterans, and the public in general. If there is a debt owed Clara Barton, it is one that can never be repaid. --Journal of America's Military Past
