the Jackson Purchase.”Culver wrote that the Span-

ish influenza epidemic of 1918 – which broke out near the end of World War I – was unique in this nation because, “unlike previous epidemics, it raged through every state.”

“This study concerns the influenza epidemic in the state of Kentucky and, more specifi-cally, in the Jackson Purchase, a region named after Andrew Jackson who helped buy the land from the Chickasaw Indi-ans in 1818,” Culver wrote. “A century later, the region com-prised the state’s eight western Counties: Ballard, Calloway, Carlisle, Fulton, Graves, Hick-man, Marshall and McCracken.

“Like most of the United States, Kentucky was swept by a tremendous epidemic of Spanish influenza during the fall and winter of 1918. From the first diagnosed case in late September, the disease rath-er than the war effort became the greatest challenge to the citizens of Kentucky. Through-out the dramatic three-month scourge, the state’s population endured terrible suffering.”

Culver wrote that in each of the state’s 120 counties, the so-called “Spanish Lady” struck with a violent force, leaving entire communities physical-

ly and mentally devastated. Culver cited another Filson Club History Quarterly article – “The Spanish Lady in Ken-tucky,” (1976) by Nancy Baird – which said the epidemic of influenza arrived in the state like a “wolf in sheep’s cloth-ing,” striking over 300,000 Kentuckians and killing over 13,000, most of whom were in the prime of their lives.

Although Spanish influenza infected over 20% of the U.S. population (estimated at 100 million at the time), “the pub-lic remained calm, and there were no riots, lawlessness or flight such as occurred during the plague years of the 14th century,” Culver wrote. “Rath-er, an amazing degree of confi-dence prevailed throughout the ordeal. The Spanish influenza epidemic failed to create mass hysteria because of its general appearance and nature.” Influ-enza had been a common el-ement for many years before 1918, usually occurring during the winter months, according to Edwin O. Jordan’s “Epidem-ic Influenza: A Survey,” pub-lished by the American Medi-cal Association in 1927.

Known to most people as the “grippe,” influenza at first appearance seemed like a mild cold, Culver wrote. This was unlike previous killer epidem-ics, such as the Black Death – which reappeared often during the Middle Ages – or yellow

fever, which both came with extremely visible, unpleasant symptoms.

Although influenza was one of the oldest known diseases in 1918, it was perhaps the least understood, Culver wrote. No disease is more difficult for scientists to learn about be-cause it arrives without warn-ing and spreads so quickly that little time is available to study it while the epidemic is under-way, he wrote.

“The exact location of the initial outbreak of the Spanish influenza pandemic, like its di-rect cause, is impossible to de-termine,” Culver wrote. “Only by chance, and not by scientific research, was the influenza epi-demic named after Spain. In the spring of 1918, it was reported by the European press that this western European nation had been struck overnight by mys-terious disease. Although this widespread malady was mild, the sickness spread rapidly across the Iberian Peninsula, striking over one-third of the population (then estimated at 8 million) within a few weeks’ time. Few Spaniards died of the disease, but when King Alfon-so XIII became afflicted with the so-called ‘three day fever’ in March 1918, the London Times explained that ‘a strange form of disease of epidemic character has appeared in Ma-drid; although mild in form, it has the wake of a tornado.’”

It soon became known as Spanish influenza.

“The disease was clearly war-related,” Culver wrote. “As a result of the American involvement in the First World War, a number of army train-ing camps had been hastily constructed across the United States. These overcrowded and poorly sanitized encampments became breeding grounds for epidemic influenza in late 1918.”

“Most of the American and European soldiers who con-tracted this early phase of the disease suffered only mild complications, including fe-ver, aching and high tempera-tures,” Culver wrote. “The few who died had flushed faces and purple lips and ears, signs that death was imminent. Army physicians overseas and in the United States were astounded and perplexed at the manner in which the patient declined from good health to a sudden state of collapse in a few hours.”

Culver wrote that one of the hardest hit of all the 30 encampments in the U.S. was Camp Zachary Taylor, located near Louisville. During Sep-tember 1918, concerned rela-tives of thousands of sick sol-diers flocked to the besieged camp, and they often became infected and transported the disease back to their communi-ties. As a result, epidemic influ-enza spread like a “great com-

et,” as reported in the Paducah Evening Sun on Oct. 11, 1918.

“As the influenza spread across Kentucky from east to west, Jackson Purchase residents learned from their newspapers about the nation-wide epidemic,” Culver wrote. “Most of them paid particular-ly close attention to reports re-ceived from Camp Taylor and the Great Lakes Naval Train-ing Center, the installations to which local recruits were sent upon entering military service. Long before the first diagnosed case of Spanish influenza was confirmed in Kentucky, state and local officials throughout September issued advisory proclamations anticipating its arrival.” For example, a no-tice published in the Princeton Twice A Week Leader on Sept. 15, 1918, warned: “All patriot-ic people who show the symp-toms of this disease, should promptly isolate themselves in their homes, for the protection of the public, and in the rooms for the protection of their fam-ilies.”

“Many citizens in the Pur-chase (with an estimated pop-ulation of 160,000 persons in 1918) were startled to read the terse, national bulletins that summed up what little was known about the disease,” Culver wrote. “Many persons living in the Jackson Purchase were led to believe that the epidemic was caused by the

spreading of ‘flu germs’ by German agents,” according to a report in the Paducah Evening Sun on Sept. 25, 1918.

“To many people of the Jackson Purchase, therefore, the prevention of the disease was seen primarily as a patriot-ic duty,” Culver wrote. “Many refused to believe that the epi-demic, thought to be isolated in army camps, would ever reach their communities.”

“As the daily newspaper headlines suddenly switched from the war effort in France to the epidemic, citizens begin to pay closer attention to the dis-ease,” Culver wrote. “Families throughout western Kentucky begin receiving dreaded army telegrams sent from Camp Taylor that informed them of a loved one’s death not from military action but from influ-enza. Soon local papers carried almost daily the names of re-cruits who had died from the disease.”

The first press report of a local recruit dying from the epidemic appeared in the May-field Daily Messenger on Sept. 28, 1918: “Seaman Fred Sher-man, of Calloway County, died at Great Lakes, Illinois, Friday night of Spanish influenza. His body is enroute to his home to-day.”
