This is the first full-length biography of New York surgeon and social activist Stephen Smith (1823–1922), who was appointed to fifty years of public service by three mayors, seven governors, and two U.S. presidents.



This is the first full-length biography of New York surgeon and social activist Stephen Smith (1823–1922), who was appointed to fifty years of public service by three mayors, seven governors, and two U.S. presidents.

The book presents the complex life of Stephen Smith, a consistent figure in the history of public health, mental health, housing reform in New York, and even urban reforestation. Utilizing Smith’s writings, public records, and recently discovered personal correspondence, this research shows how Smith succeeded where others failed. It also acknowledges that Smith was unsuccessful in convincing his fellow professionals to fight for a cabinet level public health department or to resist the rise of custodial care for the mentally impaired. Given Smith’s many accomplishments, the book asks us to consider if what stopped him stops us, highlighting the relevance of Smith’s story to contemporary debates.

Pestilence, Insanity, and Trees is a readable and well-documented narrative and a resource for students and scholars, filling gaps in the history of American medicine, public health, mental health, and New York social reform.

Recenzijas

!Internist and clinician-historian John M. Harris Jr. does a masterful job illuminating Smith's under-appreciated story. Stephen Smith was a prominent and forward-thinking surgeon whose contributions to our field are noteworthy and innovative; however, Smith deserves even greater acclaim for his pioneering and influential leadership in the fields of public health and treatment of the mentally ill. This is an important, well-written narrative which weaves together the multiple facets of a unique individual and cements Smith's place in medical history."

we are fortunate to have such a vivid and substantive account of Stephen Smiths life and career. May it be a catalyst for continued research and interpretation of these absorbing aspects of the social history of medicine.

This biography of New York surgeon and social activist, Stephen Smith (1823-1922), is presented in an attractive hardback format by the author who is an internal medicine physician in Tucson, Arizona. The short chapters, together with numbered references, is especially pleasing.
