Synopsis

A comprehensive slice of early 20th‑century Puerto Rico governance, this work compiles the health and charitable actions of the military administration.

It centers on the appendices to the report of the military governor and the routine work of public health, sanitation, and relief efforts.

The volume frames how sanitary rule, vaccination campaigns, and institutional management were organized after occupation, and how funds, personnel, and facilities were directed to improve life on the island. It also documents the formation of a superior board of health and a board of charities, along with the relief efforts that followed natural disasters.

• Learn how the superior board of health and the board of charities organized local institutions, budgeting, and regulatory efforts.
• See the records of vaccination campaigns, hospital management, and the rebuilding of public health infrastructure.
• Explore the accounts of receipts, expenditures, and administrative decisions that supported health and charity work.
• Gain a window into the human and logistical challenges faced by military governance in puerto Rico during this period.

Ideal for readers of Puerto Rico history, U.S. imperial administration, and the development of public health and charitable institutions in transitional times.
