Deathly Dance With The Spanish Lady: Mortality In Warren County, Nj During The 1918 Influenza-Pneumonia Pandemic

The Influenza Pandemic of 1918 was particularly lethal for those who were more commonly considered robust and healthy adults between the ages of 18 and 50 years old. This deathy outbreak proved to be sufficient enough to infect half of a million Americans and over one hundred million total victims around a world. After 100 years, these mortality figures are still only estimates as to the true devastation caused by a disease, for which there is still an uncertain identification along with a growing dread that such a lethal disease might still revisit upon an unprepared global population. This book focuses on a specific roster of those from Warren County, New Jersey, who succumbed to the complications of "dancing with the Spanish Lady." Now as we enter the centennial milestone of this pandemic, this study humbly offers researchers a historical review, with the added hope of assisting in identifying the cause and spread of virulent diseases.
