Malaria

Dr. John Gorrie practiced medicine in Florida.  He experimented with ways to prevent the spread of malaria.  The summer of 1841 was a particularly bad summer for malaria infection.  People had not yet realized that malaria was spread by mosquitoes.  (That discovery didn't occur till the 1890s.)  Dr. Gorrie, noting that malaria was unlikely to occur in colder climates, thought that perhaps cooling the air in the sick rooms of his patients could help them.  He started with the idea of using a fan to blow air across a bucket of ice.  A rudimentary beginning to air cooling and refrigeration ... but as they say, the rest is history!

Why there are so many ghost stories about the Alamo?
oee [108]
The cry rang out amidst the bursts of canon fire; over the deafening pop-pop-pop of Brown Bess, the Mexican Cavalry’s standard firearm; and the moans of injured men whose last moments were spent on the hallowed church ground.

The Battle of the Alamo in 1836 is indubitably the most remembered fight of the Texan struggle for Independence. The Duke’s (a.k.a. John Wayne) portrayal of Davy Crockett in the 1960 film, The Alamo, only further illuminated the struggle the Texians faced as they strove to free themselves from Mexico’s tightly clenched grip.

But their struggle will be remembered for all of time—if not because of the rallying cry that echoed all throughout America, than because of the large number of spirits which still haunt its bloodshed grounds.

This is the Alamo, which remains till this day, one of San Antonio’s Most Haunted locations.
