Chicago Fire Aid Efforts Expand As Thousands Donate
Citizens contribute generously to aid Chicago fire victims with clothing, food, and money. Eyewitness Gen James A Hall of Maine recounts the destruction and incendiary acts, praising the fire department and Sheridan. Boston volunteers and churches organize shipments as volunteers sort garments for transport to Chicago.
