專家說明

William Crowell Edgar organised a donation of flour from American millers for the relief of Russian peasants during the famine of 1891-1892. As the editor of Northwestern Miller magazine, he personally supervised its collection, shipment, and distribution in Russia, writing articles about the situation and encouraging others to help provide relief.
