"Drawn from interviews with living patients and extensive research in the leprosarium's archives, Carville: Remembering Leprosy in America tells the stories of former patients at the National Hansen's disease Center. From 1894 until 1999, Carville was the site of the only in-patient hospital in the continental United States for the treatment of Hansen's disease, the preferred designation for leprosy." "Patients - exiled there by law for treatment and for separation from the rest of society - reveal how they were able to cope with the devastating blow the diagnosis of leprosy dealt them."--BOOK JACKET.
