Matilda began to consider going to the Ludington farm because Philadelphia had become overcrowded and dangerous due to the yellow fever epidemic. The Ludington farm offered a safer and healthier environment away from the city where Matilda could potentially avoid contracting the disease.

In the book "Fever 1793," some people who benefited from the pestilence were the coffin makers, doctors, and nurses who saw an increase in demand for their services due to the outbreak of yellow fever in Philadelphia. Additionally, businesses that provided goods and services to those affected by the epidemic may have also seen an increase in profits.

Eliza believed that the doctors were wrong in declaring that Matilda, a character in the book Fever 1793, was dead. Eliza insisted that Matilda showed signs of life, such as breathing, and continued to care for her against the doctors' advice.

I dont think so but its a really good book that definetly should be a movie

yes on one page the author makes a mistake and puts mattie in third person instead of first person

Probably not. I'm doing research for the yellow fever and I don't think they had our bug repellent formulas yet.

Well Dr. Rush was a man that was extremely intrigued by the black people of that time. He often would have sex with them and ejaculate inside black women because common knowledge at the time was that the semen would not connect with any of her eggs because she is black.

Yellow algae in aquariums is typically caused by excess nutrients in the water, such as nitrates and phosphates. These nutrients can be introduced through overfeeding, decaying organic matter, or poor water quality. Ensuring proper maintenance, water changes, and nutrient levels can help prevent yellow algae growth.

Mattie was having internal conflict, because she wittnessed many deaths throughout the town, and even in her family.

yes and she recovers from it too.

Basic story line of Fever 1793:

Maddy, a 16 year old girl in 1793, has always lived with her mother and grandfather since the death of her father. She helps at their coffee house and is best friends with Nathanial Benson, a painter. Her life changes forever when yellow fever strikes. Her mother becomes ill and she has to leave...to who knows where.

It's a very exciting story and I would HIGHLY recommend it. I've personally read it three times and still get chills. :)

yes, famous and normal/average people survived the fever of 1793.

-Her friend Polly died from Yellow Fever (they did not know the cause of Polly's death)

-They hear about a mysterious sickness that caused many to move away, including Washington.

-Matilda's mother got sick, so they (Matilda and her Grandfather) got sent to visit their friends, the Worthingtons, who own a farm.

-They get a ride from farmers, but when they are stopped in a city they are passing through, Grandfather is coughing, so they get kicked out, without their food, clothes, money, etc.

-They try to get food, although they are stranded.

-When Matilda wakes up, she is just cured from yellow fever.

-Her Grandfather is flirting with a nurse, and they promise to dance together one day.

-Grandfather takes her back to their Coffee House.

-They find that thieves have taken all the food, but nothing from the strongbox.

-They bathe and eat a little, but they have almost nothing left.

-During the night, thieves come, and kill Grandfather.

-Although people are simply buried in piles now, with no priests, she ensures her Grandfather a "proper burial"

-She meets a little girl whose mother dies, named Nell.

-She finds their old cook, who was also her dear friend, who is working for...the Black Society? The African Society? Something like that.

-All the kids catch yellow fever, but they're taken to the coffeehouse and they recover.

-There is no word from Mother, whom Eliza thought had gone to the Worthingtons with them.

-Finally, the first frost comes, and the fever is over. Her Mother returns after a long time, and she is too weak to manage the coffeeshop. Eliza and Mattie (Matilda) take over.
