Vancouver, Washington, in 1918 was a river town on the north bank of the Columbia, facing Portland across the water, and its roots ran back to the Hudson's Bay Company post of Fort Vancouver in the 1820s. Lumber milling, river shipping, and the farms and orchards of Clark County supported most of its working families. The United States was deep in the First World War that year, and the Vancouver Barracks army post on the bluff was a visible sign of the war effort, with soldiers drilling and training nearby. That autumn the influenza pandemic swept through military posts and towns across the country, and residents of Vancouver would have measured the year by its wartime demands, its sawmill whistles, and the sickness that closed schools and gathering places.
