Summary In March 1900, San Francisco's health department investigated a strange and horrible death. A man in Chinatown had been infected with bubonic plague. But this deadly disease had never struck America before. Would it now kill millions, as it had for centuries throughout the rest of the world? Could the United States survive an invasion of one of the most lethal microbes?
