One-Third of Colorado Came There to Die

In the 1880s, a third of Colorado's population had come there to die. They called them "lungers"—the tuberculosis patients who flooded west on the advice of doctors who promised that mountain air could cure what medicine could not. They came by the thousands, coughing into handkerchiefs on crowded trains, clutching pamphlets that promised salvation at 5,280 feet. Some found healing. Many found only a different place to die. And their desperate migration built cities, created industries, and shaped the American West in ways we've completely forgotten. This is the story of Doc Holliday's final days in Glenwood Springs. Of Frances Jacobs, who founded National Jewish Hospital. Of the tent colonies and sleeping porches and Gardiner huts that dotted the Colorado landscape. And of the cruel irony when the towns built by the dying began turning away the sick. This video is part of "The Sanatorium" series, exploring the cultural history of tuberculosis.
