The Great TB Epidemic and Sierra Madre This is a talk you don’t want to miss! On Thursday evening, Jan. 19 at 7 p.m., the Sierra Madre Historical Preservation Society presents Historian Michele Zack (the author of our award-winning history of Sierra Madre), who will be telling us about the massive TB epidemic that hit the United States at the turn of the last century, and its enormous impact on Sierra Madre. Afflicted people at that time flooded to warm, dry cli-

Life in Sierra Madre was affected at every level.
