1822: The Manhattan Burial Crisis

October 25, 2021

HAPPY HALLOWEEN! The biggest outbreak of yellow fever in Manhattan's history, so many people to bury that gravediggers can't keep count, and all of it on an island with limited space... what could go wrong? This week the ONUC gals talk about just how many bodies were buried in 2.5 acres at one time (hint: way more than you think), Kayla gives you a science lesson and tells you what not to Google when you're researching true crime, hear Leah's Halloween snack recipe, and Kayla's Halloween drink recipe.   Trigger Warning Level: NoneVisit our website www.onenationundercrime.com for all of the ways to contact and follow us.
