Henderson, Donald Ainslie. Smallpox- The Death of a Disease. New York: Prometheus
Books, 2009.
I enjoyed this source because it gave a more insightful description as to the
eradication of the Smallpox disease. I definitely added most of their information into
the eradication section on my project.

This source was not terribly helpful, though I still found it useful in some ways. The
information I gathered from this source was more insight into the disease of
Smallpox, and was added to the section I dedicated about the Smallpox disease.

In some ways this source was helpful, but it rarely gave me a lot of new information.
In another sense, it did get a bit more into the fears relating 9/11/01 and
bioterrorism, which helped me add a bit more information into my bioterrorism
section.

This source was very interesting and very helpful in writing my section on
prominent people afflicted with Smallpox. What I found interesting was that
Lincoln was afflicted with the beginning and most contagious stage of
Smallpox when he gave the Gettysburg Address.

I learned about Edward Jenner, the creator of the Smallpox Vaccine, and
how he came up with it, and the people he had used to get the vaccine
materials from and to test the vaccine on. I used the information I gathered
for my section on the creator.
Rodriquez, Ana Maria. Edward Jenner: Conqueror of Smallpox. New Jersey: Enslow
Publishers, Inc, 2006.
This was a very fascinating book as it gave a more detailed description of the
creator of the Smallpox vaccine, and how he was inspired to find a vaccine. I added
a lot of the book’s information into the section I dedicated to the creator of the
Smallpox vaccine.

This source gave me a lot of information on the governments plan(s) in case

in the idea of Smallpox being used for bioterrorism, along with my section on that
topic.

helpful because it describe the methods used to vaccinate people for the Smallpox
virus, and I learned the side effects that can occur.
