Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book provides an in-depth look at the devastation experienced by the city of Chicago after the great fire of 1871. The author examines the destruction of several Masonic Halls and the complete annihilation of the charters, records, and other invaluable items from various lodges, chapters, councils, and commanderies within the city. An equally significant portion of the impact of this calamity came in the form of the total loss of possessions endured by the city's Masonic members and their families. The author follows the formation and efforts of a remarkable group of dedicated individuals who formed a Masonic Board of Relief. This board's mission was to administer the distribution of charitable contributions from Masonic Lodges around the country to the suffering Masons of Chicago. This book provides a detailed and thoroughly documented account of their success in aiding over 3,100 individuals with supplies, temporary shelter, and funds to start rebuilding their lives, as well as their return of excess funds back to the donors. Through this comprehensive account, the author encapsulates the devastation wrought by the great fire while recounting the inspiring and ultimately triumphant story of resilience, compassion, and the power of collective action.
