Description
Bring Out Your Dead: The Great Plague Of Yellow Fever In Philadelphia In 1793 is a historical non-fiction book written by J. H. Powell. The book provides a detailed account of the yellow fever outbreak that occurred in Philadelphia in 1793. The author explores the causes of the epidemic, the spread of the disease, and the social and political impact it had on the city. The book is divided into three parts. The first part provides a historical background of Philadelphia in the late 18th century and the events leading up to the outbreak of yellow fever. The second part describes the outbreak in detail, including the symptoms of the disease, the response of the government and medical community, and the impact on the city's residents. The third part discusses the aftermath of the epidemic, including the long-term effects on the city and the lessons learned from the experience.Powell's writing style is engaging and informative, and he draws on a variety of primary and secondary sources to provide a comprehensive account of the epidemic. The book is well-researched and provides a valuable insight into the history of medicine and public health in the United States. It is recommended for anyone interested in the history of disease and epidemics, as well as those interested in the social and political history of Philadelphia during the late 18th century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
