Sawbones: The Cholera Riots

Sawbones: The Cholera Riots

By Justin McElroy, Dr. Sydnee McElroy

Fear that the government and doctors were allied in a grand conspiracy to oppress the populace was at a fever pitch. The people took to the streets to prove that they would not abide by quarantine, that they would defy the powers that be and go on about their daily lives.

The year is 1831. The disease is cholera.
