In the early nineteenth century in the United States, cancer in the breast was a rare disease. Now it seems that breast cancer is everywhere. Written by a medical historian who is also a doctor, Unnatural History tells how and why this happened. Rather than there simply being more disease, breast cancer has entered the bodies of so many American women and the concerns of nearly all the rest, mostly as a result of how we have detected, labeled, and responded to the disease. The book traces changing definitions and understandings of breast cancer, the experience of breast cancer sufferers, clinical and public health practices, and individual and societal fears.

Reported that he “would be able to put four or five hundred wagons to hauling cotton out of Texas in exchange for supplies and specie.” The quantitative estimates of data on the extent of the size of the loophole in the blockade are still in doubt, but the trans-Mississippi department of the Confederacy had been supplied through Matamoras from the beginning of the war.

Blockade effectively contained surface ships, but it was unable to prevent submarines passing through the wide Northern Sea gap between the Orkneys and Norway.16 The waters around the British Isles were declared a war zone, and German submarines were empowered to attack without warning every merchant vessel that they encountered regardless of whether they were Allied or neutral.
