He was chosen to speak the words of peace to the white settlers, and to the many different Indian tribes on the breek of the French and Indian War.
Waking up, lying upon the rocky shore, with the waves pounding aganist my body, I knew that I had survived, somehow, the terrible shipwreck. I lay there, feeling the cold waves pushing my lower body farther up the jagged shorline. I tried to move my legs, but without success. I could feel the cold, the damn cold, and moving up my body into my chest, and I knew I would die soon.I thought to myself, this is not the way I thoght I would die. I could understand being shot by a roaming Indian, being killed by some foreign soldier, but not lying here, freezing in this cold Atlantic Ocean, surrounded by darkness.

I have personally bought a copy of David Burton Flint's first book for each of my six siblings. As a New York State expatriate. I'll keep this on my list of favorites, obviously written by a well-read and hyper-literate author, this gets "two thumbs up."
The heroic story of how a small group of people, few of them TB experts, found the cure for the greatest killer in human history. But the battle needed to be extended to all sufferers. Why have we failed to take the miracle to the developing world?
