History of the Red Cross: The Treaty of Geneva, and Its Adoption by the United States (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from History of the Red Cross: The Treaty of Geneva, and Its Adoption by the United States

In placing this pamphlet before the public it is the desire of the committee to make known, as far as possible, not only the nature and objects of the organization known as the Red Cross, as existing in other countries, but also the little which has thus far been attempted in our own. It has therefore been deemed advisable to embody in this a smaller pam phlet, issued by our president as early as the winter of 1878, entitled What the Red Cross Is, the design on her part being to introduce the work to the attention of the people and their representatives in Congress.
