A tiny portrait of a young Philadelphia woman, not much larger than a pocket watch, memorializes a life lost in 1798 during the Yellow Fever outbreak. Join host Adam Monahan as he explores the tragic story behind the portrait. What does this family heirloom tell us about honoring life and death during a pandemic, and what sad but instructive lessons does history reveal about life in a pandemic that are relevant today?
