The city's residents are fleeing in fear. This killer has a name--yellow fever--but everything else about it is a mystery. Its cause is unknown and there is no cure. This powerful dramatic account by award-winning author Jim Murphy traces the devastating course of the epidemic. An American Plague offers a fascinating glimpse into the conditions in American cities at the time of our nation's birth while drawing thought-provoking parallels to modern-day epidemics. 000284039 5260_ $$aAccelerated Reader$$c9.0. 000284039 5260_ $$aReading Counts!$$c8.9. 000284039 586__ $$aRobert F.
