| Summary |
"The American Red Cross Bulletin (Vol. IV, No. 1, January 1909)" is a quarterly publication by the American Red Cross, likely written in the early 20th century. This issue, beginning the Bulletin’s fourth year, showcases a variety of reports and initiatives undertaken by the Red Cross, focusing on disaster relief efforts due to forest fires and flooding in the United States. It includes valuable updates from notable figures associated with the organization, including William Howard Taft, who remains actively engaged in Red Cross activities despite his presidential duties. At the start of the Bulletin, the preface outlines the publication's expansion and increased public interest, along with the decision to include advertisements to help cover costs. The first few articles highlight the Red Cross's response to significant disasters, such as the forest fires in Michigan and the floods in South Carolina, detailing relief efforts, financial contributions, and community involvement. These accounts illustrate the operational dynamics and humanitarian focus of the Red Cross, emphasizing their dedication to aiding those impacted by calamities and showcasing the organization’s historical context and growth during this period.
