[1] “Table 6. — Deaths From Anthrax Reported in the United States, 1910- to 1917. {Data drawn from official certificates of death.}.” This number reflects the minimum of anthrax deaths. The authors note they were continuing to receive updates on fatal cases from the Census Bureau and other channels. In addition, given the ignorance concerning anthrax and confusion concerning deaths due to anthrax and other causes, not all death certificates of anthrax victims would have been recorded as such.
