Publisher's Synopsis
âThe Fever at Boa Vista in 1845-6, Unconnected With the Visit of the Eclair to That Islandâ meticulously documents a significant outbreak of fever on Boa Vista, Cape Verde, during 1845 and 1846. The work provides a detailed account of the medical and social conditions prevalent on the island during this period. It offers insights into the nature of the disease, its impact on the local population, and the public health measures undertaken in response.
This historical record is invaluable for researchers and historians interested in the history of medicine, public health crises, and the social dynamics of 19th-century Cape Verde. Gilbert King's detailed study contributes to a broader understanding of the challenges faced by communities grappling with infectious diseases in the pre-modern era.
