Enjoyed reading of her privileged childhood, and again wonder why people with such great lives tended to go into her work of helping sick wounded and troubled folk.

Barton's stories are all about growing Two books that also aren't worth mentioning at great length are The Story of My Childhood by Clara Barton and Memories of Childhood's Slavery Days by Annie L. Burton. I listened to these both on Librivox while I was doing Christmas iStore.

I never knew she was a teacher and survived a rather harsh beginning. Very interesting reading.
