Abstract:
Found with the papers of the late Dr. Joseph R. Latham, long a leading New Bern physician and surgeon, is what seems to be the only comprehensive and accurate account of the yellow fever epidemic in New Bern during the War Between the States. The written documents offer details of the epidemic which killed more of federal men than battle.
