This volume from the Britannica Bookshelf - Great Lives for Young Americans series presents a vivid biographical narrative of Major Walter Reed and the scientific campaign that led to the defeat of yellow fever. Written for younger readers but grounded in serious historical scholarship, Edward F. Dolan, Jr. traces Reed's work with the U.S. Army Yellow Fever Commission, the pivotal experiments in Cuba, and the lasting impact of these discoveries on public health and tropical medicine. Published in 1962 by Encyclopaedia Britannica Press in Chicago, this is a true first edition, first printing, as indicated by the copyright page and lack of later-printing statements. The book is illustrated throughout by Dan Sicilian, whose mid-century line drawings and spot illustrations complement the text and enhance readability. Condition is Near Fine: clean and tight internally, with bright pages and sharp illustrations. The blue cloth binding shows only light, cosmetic handling wear consistent with careful shelf storage. A well-preserved example of an increasingly collectible educational series title, appealing to collectors of medical history, children's nonfiction, and mid-century illustrated books. Edward F. Dolan, Jr. was a prolific American author of historical and biographical works for young readers, best known for making complex subjects such as science, medicine, and world history accessible and engaging. His books were widely used in schools and libraries during the mid-20th century and remain respected for their clarity and narrative strength.…
