Matilda Cook awakens one morning to hear her best friend has died. It's 1793, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, the capital of the United States. Rumors spring up about a mysterious disease and people begin to leave the city in droves. What will Matilda and her family do? They depend on the business their coffee house provides.
This Google Lit Trip travels through modern day Philadelphia exploring the original sites mentioned in the story, Fever 1793. Many of the original buildings are still standing.
