Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the devastating yellow fever that struck Philadelphia in the 18th century, examining its origins, treatments, and the impact it had on the city and its citizens.

The author meticulously presents evidence to support the local origin theory, providing a comprehensive analysis of the fever's causes and effects, and offering valuable insights into the nature of epidemics and the importance of public health measures in preventing their spread.
