Which article are you evaluating?
1847 North American typhus epidemic

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
I chose this article because the impact of Typhus was undeniably large and the disease as well as the treatment of the ill was so chaotic that is makes this disease outbreak more interesting to me.

Evaluate the article
Although this article does explain the impact of this disease in certain areas it does not go into great detail about the disease itself which I believe would be helpful at the beginning of this article to give some insight into what the doctors and nurses as well as the ill were dealing with at the time. I also believe this article could extend to give further information on how the disease was eventually controlled or dealt with considering it only gives details on the several locations and how they correlated to each other. Overall I believe this article is in a way vague when referring to typhus itself. The organization of the article would be better with added sections of detail.
