As an entomologist who used to write and lecture about how insects affected history, I found this book to be of great value. It's not the only book about Yellow Fever in America, but it is one I recommend for others to read.

At least one review here offers some interesting trivia from the book. Another interesting item the book explains is why the responsibility for the medical supervision of our ports was taken away from cites and states and assumed by the national government. If this had occurred earlier, then maybe the city of Memphis would not have experienced such a devastating experience.
