Frontier Fever: The Scary, Superstitious and Sometimes Sensible Medicine of the Pioneers

In 1890, the U.S. Census Department declared that there was no longer an American frontier. It had taken over 280 years, but the pioneers had persevered through broken bones, gunshot wounds, disease, and malnutrition. A lot of living had taken place, but so had a lot of dying. In this new twist on American frontier life Elizabeth Van Steenwyk shows us how the pioneers who settled this vast land managed to survive.Van Steenwyk, Elizabeth is the author of 'Frontier Fever: The Scary, Superstitious and Sometimes Sensible Medicine of the Pioneers' with ISBN 9780802784018 and ISBN 0802784011.
