Sickness, Starvation, and Death in Early Hispaniola

by: Noble D. Cook
Journal of Interdisciplinary History, Vol. 32, No. 3. (2002), pp. 349-386.

X Abstract

Recently discovered letters written by Christopher Columbus raise new questions about whether the 1,500 soldiers and settlers of Columbus' second expedition (1493-1496) may have been responsible for the introduction of Old World malaria, modorra, typhus, and smallpox to the Caribbean. The early arrival of these diseases provides fresh insight into the well-documented difficult conditions in early Hispaniola.
