Todd Savitt, who has a PhD in history, also attended medical school (although he did not earn a medical degree). His article on “smothering” was one of the first to prompt a new approach to medical issues related to slavery. His publications include Medicine and Slavery: The Diseases and Health Care of Blacks in Antebellum Virginia (1981), Disease and Distinctiveness in the American South (1988), Science and Medicine in the Old South (1989), Fevers, Agues, and Cures: Medical Life in Old Virginia (1990), and Race and Medicine in Nineteenth- and Early-Twentieth-Century America (2006).
Note reference in the first footnote to Willie Lee Rose. Rose received a BA in history from Mary Washington College and a PhD from Johns Hopkins University. Her acclaimed 1964 book Rehearsal for Reconstruction—still widely used and praised today—established her as a historian who upended the scholarly consensus about the post-Civil War years. Rose suffered a stroke in 1978 that significantly limited her scholarly efforts. Still, upon her death in 2018, the Washington Post noted, “That book, and the scattered works that followed, proved so influential that Dr. Rose was credited with standing at the forefront of a revolution in the field of U.S. history.”
