American Experience
Influenza 1918
As the nation mobilized for war in the spring of 1918, ailing Private Albert Gitchell reported to an army hospital in Kansas. He was diagnosed with influenza, a disease about which doctors knew little. Before the year was out, America would be ravaged by a flu epidemic that killed 600,000 people – more than died in all the wars of the 20th century combined – before disappearing as mysteriously as it began.
