"Want to learn about the most horrible disease to affect our country before 1900? A great story about a disease I never realized the horror of - seriously, just as bad as Ebola, except slower. Those pesky mosquitoes!! The best part of the book comes at the end when the author focuses on the doctors who figured out what caused yellow fever. The story of Jesse Lazear will break your heart, and you'll learn why Walter Reed is so famous."

"i like this book but it focuses in just a couple of cases and talks more about the scientist and other people affected with yellow fever more than it does with the symptoms of yellow fever. That would be the only thing i did not really like about it but other than that it talks about how it affected Memphis, Tennessee and Cuba and other areas of the world but those two locations are were most of the story takes place and it talks about the efforts scientist made at the time and how hard it was to prove the theory that Yellow fever was spread through mosquitoes and it has other theories as well as strange remedies that people used at the time and how doctors and medicine was not seen as a respectable job to have.. A good book and at certain time it makes a connection between yellow fever and slaves because they were more resistant than whites and other immigrants and they also make a inference that if at the time the federal government had more power than state government alot of lives could had been saved and the ending of this book is spectacular"

"This narrative nonfictional novel follows the disease of yellow fever from its origins in the jungles of West Africa to its arrival and thus adaptation to the US. The effect on US cities, particularly Memphis and New Orleans was incalculable. Crosby is especially good at describing the horrendous conditions of Memphis, or the "city of corpses" as it is referred to. It also chronicles the countless quest of doctors and scientists to find its causes and cures. Specifically that of General Walter Reed. Crosby profiles their journey to figure out the correct method of transmission and how to ultimately stop the spread of the feared 'yellow jack' disease. She even goes into great detail about one of history's most controversial human studies. Many doctors, nurses, and soldiers sacrificed their lives in hopes of finding a cure for the disease that ultimately shaped world history and pubic health."
