"Medicine in Colonial America" by Charlie Samuel explores the evolution of medical practices during the colonial era. The book delves into the challenges faced by early settlers, including diseases and limited resources, and highlights the integration of Native American healing methods and European medical traditions. It examines various practitioners, from barber-surgeons to herbalists, and illustrates the societal views on health and illness at the time. Through rich narratives and historical insights, Samuel reveals how colonial medicine laid the groundwork for modern practices, reflecting both the ingenuity and struggles of those navigating health in a new world.
