"During the mid to late 19th century, Detroit and the American Midwest were the sites of five major cholera epidemics. The first of these, the 1832 outbreak, was of particular significance--an unexpected consequence of the Black Hawk War. This book is the story of those outbreaks and the efforts to control them"-- Provided by publisher.
