Burning of the Newhall House
Published by Bleyer Bros.
Cramer, Aikens & Cramer, Printers - 1883

                            TO THE PUBLIC

     In offering to the public this memorial record of the Newhall House
  fire, the undersigned are actuated by a desire to place in the hands of
  those interested a correct account of an event that has passed into the
  history of Milwaukee as one of deepest sorrow. The awful spectacle, the
  hair-breadth escapes and horrible deaths incident to the conflagration,
  were fully reported by the press, but the developments necessary to cor-
  rectly record the dire event were so slow of evolution, and the press
  records covered so many pages of newspapers that cannot be conveniently
  preserved, that the necessity of this volume presented itself. No crimi-
  nations are printed in its pages, neither is the question of origin or
  the culpability of managers or suspected incendiaries discussed, the pro-
  vince of the volume being only to record. As a record, it is respectfully
  submitted.
                                              JULIUS BLEYER
                                              HERMAN BLEYER
     Milwaukee, Wis., January, 1883.
