We all have much to learn from this excellent book. -David Hackett Fischer, author of Champlain's Dream and Washington's Crossing A fascinating, fast-paced story of America's last major smallpox epidemic...This is history at its best written by a master of his craft. -Michael J. Klarman, author of From Jim Crow to Civil Rights Pox
