Louisa May Alcott, Harriet Tubman, Sojourner Truth, and Clara Barton all provided nursing services during the Civil War. Alcott served as a nurse in Union hospitals, Tubman nursed the sick and led an armed assault, Truth helped recruit black troops and worked as a nurse, and Barton founded the American Red Cross after her extensive work on the battlefields. Lillian Wald, however, was not involved in the Civil War; she was a nurse and social worker who founded the Henry Street Settlement in New York City and lived later than the Civil War era.
