Chemise & slipcase - Fine. xix 1 blank 444 pp. Text in French. 4to. <br/><br/>Scarce Red-Cross volume of which OCLC records 5 institutional holdings none in the US inscribed to Dr Joseph Gardner a prominent Indiana citizen and early friend/benefactor of Clara Barton as well as patron of the recently-formed American Red Cross founded in 1881 and of which Barton was president when this volume was inscribed. <br /> <br />Barton had a long-standing friendship with the Gardners with her one-time sectetary Enola Lee becoming the 3rd Mrs. Joseph Gardner. <br /> <br />In 1893 Dr. Gardner donated a large plot of his land in Indiana to the American Red Cross which Barton envisioned becoming a central-states headquarters/warehouse for the organization. All was to come to naught however as the plot was never developed & ulitmately sold to settle back taxes et al. Such was to later cause Barton problems however as she was accused of financial malfeasance which ultimately contributed to her 1904 retirement from the Red Cross. Cf. Cavinder MORE AMAZING TALES OF INDIANA pp. 79 - 80. <br /> <br />Early inscribed Barton material is somewhat uncommon in the trade. We are pleased to be able to offer this volume documenting the friendship between these two civic-oriented individuals. Au Siège Comité International de la Croix-Rouge hardcover books
