"How did an 1885 flood of little consequence become an epidemic that 'killed' 90,000 Chicagoans? The answer, at least in part, can be traced to efforts by the Metropolitan Sanitary District, beginning in the mid-1950s, to build public support for a massive flood-control project by writing pamphlets that implicated the 1885 flood in a deadly epidemic." An interesting yarn from the tribune mag.
