This interesting book provides a thorough examination of epidemiology in the United States in the early part of the 19th century through a series of essays. Bound into the book just before the title page is A Plan of Natchez (9 x 7"), an epidemiological map that shows the areas of the town where cases of yellow fever occurred in August of 1823. In the blank area is a key that helps explain the unsanitary conditions that most certainly led to outbreaks of disease.
