Yellow Fever, Death, & Mourning in 19th Century New Orleans

 

     As education coordinator for The Hermann-Grima/Gallier Houses, I recently did a middle school presentation on Yellow Fever, Death, and Mourning in 19th century New Orleans.  Over the next few weeks, I will share much of the presentation on this blog.  The students and teachers really enjoyed it and I felt it appropriate to share it with others who are interested in this type of subject matter.  The presentation was geared for 7th grade students, but is still interesting for all ages.
