Disease and discrimination : poverty and pestilence in colonial Atlantic America

Hutchinson, Dale L. (author.).

Summary: Hutchinson explores early colonial settlements and compares those that thrived with those that failed, investigating how disease did or did not affect the Native population nearby. Following the path of infection and disease, Hutchinson demonstrates that as America grew from backwoods to cities, populations in every century were affected in many ways by disease, each one impacting different impoverished classes.
