Oooh, that's just the type of historical book I like! I bet it's fascinating. I do know many of the horrors that went down that year. And the mass graves that are still being discovered today.

When the Spanish flu came to Silverton, CO, it took one third of the town. In other words, there was not one house that did not have a flu victim (dead or survived). The undertaker died too; and the bodies were piling high. There is a mass grave in the Hillside Cemetery. Most of the victims were buried in their own graves.

I told Cass there was a Frankie who died of the flu at the age of 18. She was the daughter of Silverton's sherriff. Her full name was Frankie Leonard.:'(
