Trade Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. First Edition. 271 Pages. Inscribed by Kitty Gair on the half title page. Very slight spine cock. No other defects noted to this tight bright book with flawless interior text pages. World War II was over, and the Japanese invasion of Alaska had been repelled, but a few years later, a lone…boat set out to reconnoiter the onslaught of another enemy -- the tuberculosis bacteria. Few young women in the post-war 1940s were bold enough to cruise the Alaska coast on a medical work ship. Anyone interested in adventure, history, medicine, or native peoples will enjoy the author's account of her participation in the beginnings of territorial Alaska's fight against tuberculosis, then rampant in the villages. This saga of the crew of the MV Hygiene, on its historic voyage from Southeastern Alaska to most of the lonely villages of Southwestern Alaska and the Bering Sea, is a tale of high adventure and unique service to the Native people of Alaska. This account of the Hygiene's first two years graphically depicts life on board and details the medical program that was carried out. It is a story of historical significance and fills in a missing chapter in the Public Health Service's fight against the scourge of TB. Against a backdrop of pre-statehood Alaska, the author spins a warm, personal narrative of a sea- going public health clinic, its adventurous crew, and the needy coastal people whom it served. The focus is Territorial Alaska's raging tuberculosis epidemic. Skillfully interwoven in this narrative are the complexities of cross-cultural health care, personal anxiety and exhilaration, experiences of Alaska's stark natural beauty, and the peril of its northern seas.
