Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Epidemic of Yellow Fever in Norfolk and Portsmouth, Virginia: During the Summer and Fall of 1855 These border immediately upon the offensive docks and the marsh, already named. They are occupied by the very poor, both black and white, two and three families being in each house, and, as an inevitable consequence, sur rounded and choked up with filth of every description. Although the first cases of the fever occurred in persons from on board of the Benjamin Frank lin, at Gosport, where that vessel broke out her hold, yet it was in this portion of Portsmouth preper that the epidemic made its first and most deadly ravages. Not a human being of either sex, or of any age, who remained within this precinct, so far as I could learn, escaped the fever; and most of them died. There was still another untoward condition of things found there. In consequence of the water lying so close to the surface of the ground, cellars and underground basements, as before remarked, are inadmis sible. Nevertheless, they exist; and some of them were found, throughout the entire epidemic, to be tenanted by one, and even two families; and as it was poverty which kept them there, so, as may be supposed, its usual retinue of squalor and filth bore them constant company. But without dwelling longer in detail, such was the hygienic condition of Portsmouth when the epidemic commenced; and the wonder is, not that the pestilence prevailed, but that it has not annually swept the city from the time these conditions began to exist. And still more surprising is it that the city authorities should have suffered these evils to accumulate, in the full knowledge of the presence of the fell destroyer hovering about the Atlantic coast. Let us now inquire what was the condition of her sister city. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
