 Children During the Yellow Fever Epidemics
What first caused the panic in Philadelphia in 1793 was not the counting up of the number of deaths all over the city, it was the clustering of deaths of citizens of the city (not recent immigrants or refugees) and the violent nature of those deaths along the wharves.
At a certain point in 1793, roughly in the middle of September, it became widely held inside and outside the city that the city was so infected that anybody or anything coming from it had to be more or less quarantined.
In 1793 there seemed to be three types of yellow fever cases: those who took it lightly and suffered some ill effects for a day or so; those who died within the first three days; and those who took a decided turn for the worse after the third day or so.

 The Hudson River Basin
The location of State Street, and subsequently the positioning of downtown Albany itself, came about as a result of Peter Stuyvesant’s order that no house be built within cannon range of the fort.
It was during this period of transition that State Street became disconnected from its origins; disinterest and neglect coincided with the construction of headquarters for the Delaware and Hudson Railroad.
Albany as a whole was profoundly affected by these trends, but State Street itself was relatively unscathed, except for the development of the hotel-bank complex by old Elm Tree corner, a development that obliterated significant portions of the historic street plan.
