Summary
614.5 MUR
It's 1793, and there's an invisible
killer roaming the streets of
Philadelphia. The city's residents
are fleeing in fear. This killer has a
name--yellow fever--but everything
else about it is a mystery. Its cause
is unknown and there is no cure.
This powerful dramatic account by

epidemic. An American Plague
offers a fascinating glimpse into the
conditions in American cities at the
time of our nation's birth while
drawing thought-provoking parallels

This 1970 volume greatly changed
the view of pioneers' westward
advancement. Based largely on
primary source materials, this
volume details how white settlers
forced Indian tribes off the plains,
often simply by killing them. Though
Hollywood and penny dreadfuls
portrayed Indians as red devils who
launched unprovoked attacks on
innocent homesteaders, Brown's
research shows that the opposite is
closer to the truth.
