October 16, 1871

ONEIDA CIRCULAR, New York, Oct. 16, 1871  Page 4 has over one-third of the page on: "The Great Fire" which begins: "Chicago in Ashes -- Fire and death sweeping everything before them - 150,000 people houseless & homeless - Hundreds of millions of property burned - Fearful loss of life apprehended. These are the announcements that have struck every ear and saddened every heart. The calamity is almost unparalleled in kind..." with much more. This was the Great Chicago Fire of 1871 (see hyperlink for more).
From the famous Oneida Community, an early "commune" in experimental living. Much o the balance of the issue is religiously-themed.
Eight pages, 10 1/4 by 14 inches, never bound nor trimmed so it folds out to one large sheet, nice condition.
