The Alley Book Club: BRING OUT YOUR DEAD by J.H. Powell

  • Elfreth's Alley Museum 124-126 Elfreth's Alley Philadelphia, PA, 19106 United States (map)

Residents of Elfreth’s Alley, living in close quarters, were hugely affected by the 1793 Yellow Fever epidemic, which killed roughly ten percent of the city’s population in a span of less than four months. J.H. Powell’s definitive account of this fearful and heroic time in Philadelphia offers a rich and deeply fascinating look into the hearts and minds of those who experienced this epidemic - and allows us to think about how our past history illuminates our present. Join local author Josh Hitchens at 4:30pm in person at Elfreth's Alley Museum. Tickets are $10 and advance purchase is recommended.
