Chills and fever
health and disease in the early history of Alaska
by Robert Fortuine
Focuses on the role of health and disease in the history of Alaska from earliest times to 1900, with primary emphasis on Alaska native people. Specific objectives: 1) to reconstruct as fully as possible the diseases from which the Alaska natives suffered around the time of first European contact and before western culture had a strong influence on health; 2) to discuss health aspects of the early recorded history of Alaska, including the beginnings of medical care and the impact of disease and death on historical events; and, 3) to trace in chronological fashion the introduction and spread of certain diseases which have had a profound influence on the lives of the peoples of Alaska, both Native and Caucasian.
