Abstract:
Occurring against the background of World War I, the great influenza epidemic of 1918-1919 is one of the least known events in U.S. history. Yet in ten months it killed more Americans than any war. High Point was especially hard hit with ten percent of the population, 1,200, people, infected. A number of these later died.
