Reviews for Conquering Sickness: Race, Health, and Colonization in the Texas Borderlands
“I can imagine Conquering Sickness finding its way onto many reading lists. It’s clear that this is a book from which historians of the American West, Native American history, colonial and early national Mexico, and Texas now have much to learn.”—Thomas Andrews, author of Coyote Valley: Deep History in the High Rockies
