This killer has a name--yellow fever--but everything else about it is a mystery. Its cause is unknown and there is no cure.

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 to modern-day epidemics. --
