The most important person in this story is Colonel (Doctor) William Gorgas, the man who came to the Canal Zone in 1904 to do exactly what he had been able to do in Havana nine years earlier-defeat yellow fever and malaria.
This is the story of how he defeated these merciless diseases and enabled the building of the Panama Canal.
