Soldiers from Fort Riley, Kansas, ill with Spanish flu at a hospital
ward at Camp Funston.
Just before breakfast on the morning of March 4, Private Albert Gitchell of the
U.S. Army reports to the hospital at Fort Riley, Kansas, complaining of the cold-
like symptoms of sore throat, fever and headache. Soon after, over 100 of his
fellow soldiers had reported similar symptoms, marking what are believed to
be the first cases in the historic influenza pandemic of 1918, later known as
Spanish flu. The flu would eventually kill 675,000 Americans and an estimated
20 million to 50 million people around the world, proving to be a far deadlier
force than even the First World War.

When Little Golden Books were first published in 1942 by Random
House, when high-quality books for children hadn’t been available
at a price most people could afford. Little Golden Books changed
that! Priced at just 25 cents and sold where people shopped every
day, they caused an instant sensation and were soon purchased
by the hundreds of thousands. Created by such talented writers
as Margaret Wise Brown (author of Goodnight Moon) and Richard
Scarry, Little Golden Books have helped millions of children
develop a lifelong love of reading.
