"The American National Red Cross Bulletin (Vol. I, No. 3, July 1906)" is a historical publication that details the activities and relief efforts of the American National Red Cross during the early 20th century, notably written in the early 20th century. This edition captures the organization’s responses to various calamities including famine relief in Japan, disaster funding for the eruption of Mount Vesuvius, and aid efforts following the 1906 San Francisco earthquake. It highlights the importance of national and international solidarity in providing humanitarian assistance. The opening of this Bulletin outlines the organization's progress since its reorganization, boasting the establishment of branches in twenty-six states to effectively address the needs arising from both domestic and international disasters. Starting with a preface, it emphasizes the American Red Cross's mission to provide ongoing relief beyond wartime, featuring detailed accounts of funds raised and assistance sent to famine-stricken areas in Japan, a report on the Vesuvius disaster response, and preparations for aiding victims of the San Francisco earthquake. This context sets the tone for an engaging overview of early 20th-century American humanitarian efforts, showcasing the collaborative spirit that propels the Red Cross's work.
