She was a school teacher in New Jersey when starting at the age of 15. Then she became a U.S. Patent office clerk. While working there she learned of the need for medical supplies to treat the wounded from the first Bull Run. She decided to set up a drive and collected medical supplies. Soon the Union was letting her ride in the medical carts with the wounded. She helped as a nurse and tried to keep them possitive. Then she became a nurse and obtained the nickname "Angel of the Battlefield". There she founded The Red Cross and was president of the Red Cross before retiring and dying.

she drove a truck during the civil war. she didn't just drive the truck but also gathered the people behind the truck and she took them to the field hospital. she didn't care if it was confederate or union. she just helped wounded soldiers. she said if someone is suffering, help them even though they are not in our side. her nickname was the angel of civil war.
