| Summary | "The American Red Cross Bulletin (Vol. IV, No. 2, April 1909)" is a historical publication that recounts the activities and efforts of the American Red Cross during the early 20th century. This specific volume focuses on the organization's response to the devastating Sicilian and Calabrian earthquakes, which occurred at the end of 1908, detailing the significant relief work conducted in Italy during this period of crisis. The opening of the bulletin begins with a poignant preface highlighting the significance of the Red Cross and its compassionate mission to aid those ravaged by disaster. It immediately addresses the massive destruction caused by the earthquake in Italy, expressing heartfelt sympathy and demonstrating how the American Red Cross mobilized aid and funds quickly, including substantial monetary contributions to the Italian Red Cross. The opening portion outlines the organizational structure of the American Red Cross, its collaboration with various stakeholders, and sets the stage for the recounting of specific relief efforts that followed, such as organizing orphanages and housing for displaced populations, all while illustrating the emotional weight of responding to such immense human suffering.
