what part of north america was affected during the "Asiatic Flu" that hit the U.S. in December of 1889?

Question:

I can't find any info on WHERE in the North America it hit, only that it made it here by Dec. of 1889. I am trying to find out if New Mexico was affected by it during that time.

Answers:
It affected most of the entire continent. What you have to remember is that many states weren't states yet, they were territories. This flu spread mostly through the western states. It started in what would become Alaska, and worked its way across Canada and down the Rocky Mountains. It affected the Native Americans the most and worked its way down to South America. So in answer to your question, I am sure that it affected the territory that would become New Mexico.
