"This gives a good sense of the scientists and characters involved with global project that is yellow fever. I enjoy historical books that can do that. Also, you realize that it is not a threat that has been conquered yet. I will admit that I was a little scared of mosquitoes for a while after finishing this book."
"It's 1793 and summer in Philadelphia. A mysterious disease is spreading throughout our young nation's capitol. The cause of the disease is unknown, but the symptons and consequences of protracting the disease are horrific. Learn about 18th century medical practices as you read this gruesome account of the yellow fever epidemic."
"I read this book after reading Laurie Halse Andersen's historical fiction account of the plague entitled Fever, 1793. This book tells the story of the yellow fever epidemic in Philadelphia and its effect on the young nation. Students will become immersed in the dramatic narrative as they read how fear and panic spread throughout the country's capital. The author masterfully weaves facts and fascinating stories in describing the course of the disease and the heroic roles played by a few doctors and the free African-American citizens of the city."
"I am not a big non-fiction reader, and I certainly do not enjoy reading about disease and grossness. But this was absolutely fascinating. One of the best non-fiction books I have ever read. I've recommended it many times at the library, once to a teacher of a predominantly African American class, thinking they'd appreciate seeing how the community in Philadelphia really stepped up to help, despite how they were treated."
