“The Flu”: A Brief History of Influenza in U. S. America, Europe, Hawaii

This booklet, written in 1921 by A. Mouritz, provides a concise history of influenza epidemics and pandemics, focusing on the United States, Europe, and Hawaii. It covers pandemic terminology, theories on causes and microorganisms, the relationship between flu and pneumonia, societal impacts, and historical treatments. The material remains relevant today, and this edition omits a chapter on Hawaiian history to maintain focus on influenza.
