A list of puns related to "1793 Philadelphia yellow fever epidemic"
My virology professor just made the claim that an exodus from Philadelphia due to the 1793 (and subsequent) yellow fever epidemics contributed significantly to D.C. being chosen as the capital of the USA. How much truth is there behind this?
Just a question for the group. There was a yellow Fever epidemic that hit New York City in 1702, supposedly a large portion of the population died then. Does anyone know if there is a list of the deceased? Thank you!
Iβm curious to hear if anybody has historical fiction recommendations set in Louisiana. Iβm open to any time frame, but would be most interested in those set during the Yellow Fever epidemics. I appreciate any suggestions! Iβm also open to non fiction suggestions about Yellow Fever in LA (or elsewhere in the US).
Yellow Fever hit Gibraltar several times, but the worst was 1804 when half of the population died, and military man- power was so short that the guns on the Mediterranean defenses couldn't be manned. The assumption here is that France is able to take advantage of this weakness and seizes the Rock.
Basically what the title says. We were read it in 3rd grade, if that helps.
How would the Napoleonic Wars, and the rest of history, have changed?
