Quarantine! : East European Jewish immigrants and the New York City epidemics of 1892 / Howard Markel, MD, PhD

"The author traces the course of the typhus and cholera epidemics that swept through New York City in 1892. The story is told from the point of view of those involved: the public health doctors who diagnosed and treated those infected, the newspaper reporters who covered the stories, the government officials who established and enforced policy, and, most importantly, the immigrants themselves who contracted the diseases"--.
