“the Indians who were our neighbors, they were only six miles away. So Dad and the city marshal rode up there one day to see how things were going at the Indian camps and they were horrified at what they saw.

And, by that time, they were all exposed, everybody had the flu. Ultimately, it killed about half the Indians.””
