Typhoid fever is a disease that has touched American history since the Spanish brought it to the continent in the fifteen century. This book explores where this disease has had far-reaching impact, including in the Jamestown settlement, during the American Civil War, and in industrialized Chicago and New York City. Emphasizes not just the disease itself but the social and historical consequences, but the scientific and human side of the disease as well.
