On This Page

Description

“In the late summer of 1861, a small but frightening epidemic of yellow fever struck the French Atlantic port of Saint Nazaire.  Coleman offers close scrutiny of this epidemic, and of related earlier and contemporary experiences with yellow fever, using their histories to determine how epidemics were analyzed.  Students and scholars in the history of science, medicine,and public health will welcome Coleman’s close analysis.”—Bulletin of the History of Medicine
