THE TREMBLES
Somewhere during browsing, I found this story about the Trembles: It’s worth reading the whole thing, here: https://www.appalachianhistory.net/2019/02/the-curse-of-milk-sickness-part-1-of-2.html https://www.appalachianhistory.net/2019/02/the-curse-of-milk-sickness-part-2-of-2.html THE TREMBLES was apparently a big deal around the 1800s.
