The Yellow Fever epidemic in 1798...



Item # 683678

October 31, 1798

THE SPECTATOR, New York, Oct. 31, 1798 

* Philadelphia yellow fever epidemic

An unusual issue being single sheet rather than the typical 4 pages due to the on-going Yellow Fever Epidemic which ravaged much of the Eastern United States at that time.
There are several front page reports concerning the epidemic including numbers of recent deaths from the fever.
Four pages, never-trimmed, irregular at the spine margin.
