With" Pox Americana," Fenn has made a stunning contribution to American Revolution studies. "Michael Kenney, The Boston Globe"
A considerable achievement and an extraordinary work of history that uncovers an episode that reshaped America as surely as the War of Independence. "Garance Franke-Ruta, The Washington Monthly"
Fenn provides a dazzling new perspective that embraces the entire continent . . . A story that is timely as well as powerful and sobering. "Alan Taylor, The New Republic""
Pox Americana sifts carefully through journals and records of the late 18th century to reconstruct the path of the disease. Using resources as varied as the burial records kept by Catholic Priests in the Southwest and the diaries of explorers traveling up the Pacific coast, she pieces together a gripping, untold story and even tries to arrive at an accurate statistical tally for the seven-year blight . . . Scholarly yet detectivelike. Janet Maslin, The New York Times

Fenn provides a dazzling new perspective that embraces the entire continent . . . A story that is timely as well as powerful and sobering. Alan Taylor, The New Republic
After the flood of works that talented scholars have devoted in recent years to the American Revolution, who could have expected a major new study of an unexamined and scarcely suspected dimension of it? That is what Elizabeth Fenn has produced in this extraordinary book, which concerns the workings of a catastrophic epidemic that shaped both the course of the Revolutionary War and the way people lived throughout the North American continent. Edmund S. Morgan, Yale University
With impressive research and sparkling prose, Elizabeth Fenn addresses a greatly neglected subject: a smallpox epidemic that not only was continent-wide but had the real possibility of derailing the War of Independence. Pox Americana is an excellent book. Professor Don Higginbotham, The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
I thought that the most important participants in the saga of North America in the era of the American Revolution were the Native Americans, African Americans, Patriots, Redcoats, and French. Elizabeth A. Fenn convinces me that I must add the smallpox virus to the list of protagonists or fail to comprehend the actions of all the others. Alfred W. Crosby, author of The Columbian Exchange"
