With Their Dying Breaths - CC Thomas

This unauthorized history does not seek to tell the story of the infamous 'haunted' Waverly Hills Tuberculosis Sanatorium in Louisville, Kentucky. For ghost stories, you must look somewhere else. Instead, this book sheds to seek light on one of the most deadly and contagious diseases of the 18th, 19th and 20th centuries. Louisville, as well as other areas in Kentucky such as Mammoth Cave, once stood as the sole respite for all those afflicted with tuberculosis, or TB. While many books, documentaries and TV shows have focused on the paranormal of the this building, few have focused on its fascinating history.
