The American Plague

The book sheds light on a disease many overlook today. I'm curious what motivated the author to tell this particular story and how they approached its historical significance.

The detailed accounts made me appreciate the challenges faced by early doctors. Did these vivid descriptions enhance the sense of urgency or did they feel a bit overwhelming?

The individual accounts brought the epidemic to life, but I wonder how the selection process was handled and how representative these stories are of the overall experience.
