SUMMARY:"Colonial Cures for Scurvy" Lecture
DESCRIPTION:Scurvy —a debilitating disease caused by a deficiency of vitamin C\, was a scourge among sailors\, with hundreds of thousands perishing during the colonial period\, and during the American Revolutionary War it became a critical strategic factor that severely weakened the British Royal Navy and affected the health of the Continental Army. The efforts to improve healthy conditions on-board sailing vessels were vital for Salem’s maritime success. \nBefore the concept of vitamin deficiency was known to the world\, physicians struggled to find what caused the disease. That did not stop them from developing both herbal and chemical treatments with mixed results. The story of finding a true cure spans the centuries\, from ancient references to sailors’ superstitions to the birth of “clinical trials” in the 18th century.\nJoin Dan Marshall as he dives into both European and American colonial sources that shed light on the effects of scurvy on the body and the many colonial cures recorded for posterity. Afterwards\, he will demonstrate the tools and techniques of turning simple ingredients into medicine in the 17th & 18th centuries. \nDan Marshall is a museum professional who has shared his love of history with the public for over 25 years. He has created and presented countless hands-on public history events\, school tour programs\, and lectures on a wide range of historical topics. With experience at Colonial Williamsburg\, The House of the Seven Gables\, Lexington Historical Society\, and the City of Salem\, Dan is currently serving as Vice President of the Salem Historical Society. \nThis program is presented in partnership with the National Park Service and Essex Heritage as part of a series; Conflict & Community: Salem\, Essex County\, and the American Revolution. As the nation marks the 250th anniversary of American independence\, this dynamic series brings together diverse voices and experts to examine the Revolution through its many perspectives\, lived experiences\, and lasting legacies.
