The Cholera Epidemic of 1873 in Birmingham Alabama

The Cholera Epidemic of 1873 in Birmingham Alabama by David Bishop

This paper is an account of a sad event in Birmingham's early history. I researched and wrote it for HY 300 taught by Dr. Colin Davis. Due to the limitations of the internet, I was unable to include the complete cited work. I posted this paper partially to experiment with the internet's limitations on reproducing long text documents as well as to bring attention to this great tragedy that our city founders faced and overcame. I give special thanks to Dr. Charlotte Boorst of the Reynolds Historical Library, The Birmingham Public Archive, and The Alabama Department of History and Archives. Without their assistance, this paper would not have been possible.
