A History of the India Wharf Rats: 1886-1911 is a book written by John Tyler Wheelwright and published in 1912. The book tells the story of the rats that infested the India Wharf in Boston during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Wheelwright provides a detailed account of the rats' behavior, habitat, and impact on the wharf's businesses and residents. He also explores the methods used to control the rat population, including the use of traps, poisons, and cats. The book is a fascinating look at a lesser-known aspect of urban history and provides insight into the challenges faced by cities in dealing with pests and disease.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
