Inhoud:

By focusing on two specific diseases rather than a broad array of Civil War medical topics, this book offers an understanding of how environmental factors serve as agents of change in history. It shows that the course of the Civil War would have been far different had mosquito-borne illness not been part of the South's landscape in the 1860s.
