We have been learning about the regional impact of the 1918-1919 influenza pandemic, guided in exploring its origins and extent by John M. Barry’s pandemic history, “The Great Influenza.”
The outbreak originated in southwest Kansas in early 1918; spread to the Army training center at Camp Funston in eastern Kansas; and Camp Funston troops brought it to camps around the US. The influenza eventually reached the training center at Camp Dodge, Iowa where young men drafted from our area received their initial training.
The outbreak of spring 1918 touched our region on April 3, 1918, when Marshall’s Walter Bedore died of pneumonia while in training at Camp Dodge.
