Jean H. Baker, Building America
In Building America: The Life of Benjamin Henry Latrobe, Jean Baker ably presents the often-overlooked story of America’s first professional architect and engineer, drawing heavily on Latrobe’s correspondence and personal journal. Latrobe is best known as the architect of the U.S. Capitol in Washington, DC, but during his prolific career, he also built numerous iconic churches, private homes, banks, and municipal waterworks, in which he often inc…
Ben Mutschler, The Province of Affliction
In The Province of Affliction: Illness and the Making of Early New England, historian Ben Mutschler examines in great detail, and with admirable skill, how sickness affected life in early Massachusetts, although he pivots to the larger American republic towards the end of the book. Colonial Americans were surrounded on an almost daily basis with illness and death, often a result of regular epidemics such as smallpox, measles, diphtheria, yellow f…

Werner Trotsken, The Pox of Liberty. How the Constitution left Americans Rich, Free, and Prone to Infection
Logic would dictate that the richest countries in the world have the highest level of life expectancy.

In The Pox of Liberty , economist Werner Troesken approaches the history of American health from an unusual angle. In a complex, nuanced and dense, fact-packed volume, he takes an interdisciplinary appr…
"Spitting Is Dangerous, Indecent, and against the Law!" Legislating Health Behavior during the American Tuberculosis Crusade
Tuberculosis was the leading cause of death in early twentieth-century America. Reducing the sputum vector of contagion by changing public behavior initially focused on anti-spitting campaigns. According to most Progressive Era health experts, "promiscuous" spitting was a prime culprit in spreading the disease. Beginning in 1896 in New York, towns and cities throughout America passed anti-spitting legislation, sometimes creating tensions between …
Opening New Doors
Opening New Doors examines the lives of Jewish women in the early American West to provide a deeper understanding of their diverse roles. Given the still-forming social landscape, beginning with the 1848 Gold Rush, Jews were able to integrate more fully into local communities than they had in the East. Jewish women in the West took advantage of the unsettled nature of the region to "open new doors" for themselves in ways often not yet possible el…
