Scrapbook of Yellow Fever Pioneer

Ward Reception Room, Military Hospital, Havana Cuba
George Alfred Hero, III, of Belle Chasse, Louisiana, has donated a scrapbook of  Roger Post Ames. Ames (1870- 1914) was a New Orleans physician and yellow fever expert.

A graduate of the Tulane Medical Department (1890), Ames served as an ambulance student at Charity Hospital and assistant house surgeon at Hotel Dieu. He was associated with the United State Public Health Service in New Orleans and served as a surgeon during the Spanish-American War.

Ames believed that yellow fever was not contagious and that the disease was transmitted by mosquitoes. He served as a contract surgeon with Major Walter Reed during the famous yellow fever experiments in Cuba at Camp Lazar, where he contracted the disease during his service. Dr. Ames was 44 years old when he died on November 15, 1914, at Port Barrios, Guatemala.

The scrapbook documents his travels to Hawaii, the Philippines, China, Japan, and Cuba. Most of the images are commercial photographs sold to tourists but are often heavily annotated by Ames with his recollections and reflections.

Mr. Hero donated the scrapbook in memory of his wife, Danella Primeaux Hero.

I lost almost everything and nearly went to jail but God intervened at the last minute by sending Mr MORRIS GRAY to my way, a private hacker who was able to help me trace were my BTC to the Binance account where i invested and was able to recover all of it within days.

  4. I lost all my money after falling victim to a cryptocurrency investment scam, I was logged out of my account and was told the account manager was sick and that I had to pay some certain amount to gain access to my accounts. I had invested some huge amounts of money into this platform Capital Express FX, a lady contacted me to invest in this platform so that I would make huge profits which I did but to my surprise, these were all scams and they have defrauded several others of their money through cryptocurrency. I was weak and broke, I couldn’t meet up with my bills until a friend of mine told me about Spyweb Cyber, a reputable and reliable recovery company. I contacted Spyweb and provided all the information to them, a few other things I couldn’t provide but this company did an amazing job to trace and recover my stolen money. I’m still amazed and excited that a company like Spyweb Cyber is out there helping victims of cryptocurrency scams recover their money. I’m truly grateful to their service and recommend them to everyone.
