Reviews

Douglas D. Scott and P. Willey, assisted by an impressive array of medical experts, have carefully gathered all the health records of the Seventh Cavalry across a decade and a half of the Seventh s deployments and activities. It is rare to have such an extensive body of nineteenth-century medical records so well surveyed and expertly interpreted. The result is a marvelous study in epidemiology and medical history. James S. Brust, M.D., coauthor of Where Custer Fell, Photographs of the Little Bighorn Battlefield Then and Now

Health of the Seventh Cavalry is an important contribution to the history of military medicine. Through the lens of the Seventh Cavalry s records, the authors provide a much-needed perspective on post Civil War U.S. Army medical practice. Brian Spatola forensic anthropologist and Anatomical Collections Manager, National Museum of Health and Medicine
