Read this excerpt from The Great Fire.
"I saw a great many kindly acts done as we moved
along," White would recall almost fondly. "The poor
helped the rich, and the rich helped the poor (if anybody
could be called rich at such a time) to get on with their
loads. I heard of cartmen demanding one hundred and
fifty dollars (in hand, of course) for carrying a single load.
Very likely it was so, but those cases did not come
under my own notice. It did come under my notice that
some cartmen worked for whatever the sufferers felt
able to pay, and one I knew worked with alacrity for
nothing. It takes all sorts of people to make a great fire."
