The transformation of native America -- Of plagues and peoples -- Virginity and virulence -- Natives and newcomers -- Merchants and maladies -- Commerce and consequence -- Contested colonies -- Planters and pestilence -- Landscapes and liabilities -- Poverty and pestilence beyond the big house -- Measuring the lands -- Measured lands and multitudes.

Scope and content: Hutchinson explores early colonial settlements and compares those that thrived with those that failed, investigating how disease did or did not affect the Native population nearby.
