For primary sources, I frequently consulted Dr. Benjamin Rush’s book An Account of the Bilious Remitting Yellow Fever, as it Appeared in the City of Philadelphia, in the Year 1793 and the book written by Absalom Jones and Richard Allen, two African American ministers, about their relief work during the epidemic, A narrative of the Proceedings of the Black People, During the Late Awful Calamity in Philadelphia, in the Year 1793: and a Refutation of Some Censures, Thrown Upon them in Some Late Publications.
