An estimated six million people perished in the famine of 1921–23 in Soviet Russia and Ukraine, but millions survived thanks to American food and medical relief. This book, richly illustrated with photographs, posters, and documents from the Hoover Institution Library & Archives, focuses on the lesser-known role of the medical intervention, including a large-scale vaccination drive.
Of the three surgeons who accompanied Custer's Seventh Cavalry on
June 25, 1876, only the youngest, twenty-eight-year-old Henry
Porter, survived that day's ordeal, riding through a gauntlet of
Indian attackers and up the steep bluffs to Major Marcus Reno's
hilltop position. But the story of Dr. Porter's wartime exploits
goes far beyond the battle itself. In this compelling narrative of
military endurance and medical ingenuity, Joan Nabseth Stevenson
opens a new window on the Battle of the Little Big Horn by
re-creating the desperate struggle for survival during the fight
and in its wake.
