Summary:
Traces the efforts of doctors to halt the spread of the plague during the 1900 outbreak in
San
Francisco
, discussing how political leaders tried to keep the epidemic from being publicized and the scientists working to unlock the secrets of the disease. In March 1900,
San
Francisco
's health department investigated a strange and horrible death in
Chinatown
. A man had died of bubonic plague, one of the world's deadliest diseases. But how could that be possible? Bubonic Panic tells the true story of America's first plague epidemic, the public health doctors who desperately fought to end it, the political leaders who tried to keep it hidden, and the brave scientists who uncovered the plague's secrets. Once again, acclaimed author and scientific expert Gail Jarrow brings the
history
of a medical mystery to life in vivid and exciting detail for young readers. This title includes photographs and drawings, a glossary, a timeline, further resources, an author's note, and source notes.
