OLDER FICTION
Anderson, T. Neill

People of the Plague

(4) YA Horrors of History series. In this novel set in Philadelphia, Anderson explores the 1918 Spanish Flu pandemic through the eyes of several fictional characters and the real-life director of public health and charities, Dr. Wilmer Krusen. The horror of swift and gruesome death is reflected in the surviving and uninfected characters, the young seminarians who became gravediggers, and Krusen's frustrations. Black-and-white archival photos are included; unfortunately, sources and resources are not.
