I’ve
mentioned the Vault on Slate before and posts by Rebecca Onion. Well, she’s shared another neat post of
interest to genealogists and family historians.
Though we strive to learn as much as we can about our ancestors lives, we
also value what we can learn about how they died.
Her most recent post is 19th-Century
Infographic Shows American Mortality as a Cluster of Cute Little Charts.
This set of charts shows causes of
death in the United States United States
The article goes on to share some of the results presented along with some thoughts about why certain patterns emerged in certain states for certain age groups and/or causes of death. There is a link to a zoomable version of the
original chart either via the blog post or at the Library of Congress’ digital
archives (part of the Cultural Landscapes section of the Map Collections in
American Memory).
So many neat documents so little
time! À la Rebecca Onion have you come
across neat infographics that really gave you an informative visual perspective
on something related to your ancestors? If so, please share ...
