Appendix
Scores of wartime reports from Long Island and New York City newspapers served as the basic sources of information for this article. These newspapers are named in the captions and throughout the text above.
In addition, there is an abundance of relevant online resources available; I attempted to limit myself to those which seemed the most reputable. Again, the most relevant of those which I used are shown in the captions.
For information about Russia's contemporary use of Trophy Trains, see this link:
Not for the first time, the revised edition of John Barry's book The Great Influenza provided vivid and stirring accounts of America during the pandemic.
Margaret MacMillian's award-winning Paris 1919, Six Months That Changed the World also was an invaluable source.
If you can stomach more of my writing, the following past Ancient Hixtory articles touch on the World War I / pandemic years:
June 2018: Hicksville flies Service Flags for those who serve, and three Hicksville soldiers die of disease in Europe
1806/hixtory.htm
January 2019: Leading citizens of Hicksville are charged with rioting when a local mob threatens State Troopers (article illustrates anti-German war propaganda and mania)
1901/Hixtory.htm
May 2019: More in-depth accounts of the war, the pandemic, and the three Hicksville soldiers who died in service of their country
1905/Hixtory.htm
I'm still healthy, and I hope that you are. Let's all try to keep it that way.
