Reference[edit]

Everything stated in this stub of an article comes from Fenn's book. It was listed under "Further reading", which was perhaps misleading. Changed section to "References". Removed unreferenced tag -- every statement here is from that book. Pfly (talk) 21:15, 18 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Don't see any reference to these authors In the Reference section. Also the Armyheritage.org site is not listed in the reference section.

john adams wrote abby in april 1764 about his inoculation -- as such I'm guessing the 'july' date in this article is off

also it wasn't a 'letter to his wife', she wasn't his wife yet I think

here is the letter:

There needs to be a section added that discussed long term effects of the epidemic. Another thing that may want to be added is testing and diagnosing methods. What was effected due to the epidemic? Economy, Safety, Unemployment? Heather Rood (talk) 16:39, 25 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Is there a source for the estimation that 11,000 Native American lives were lost over seven years? Rosyposy01 (talk) 16:43, 25 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
