Fascinating recounting of a Spanish American war veteran who returns to his midwestern American life and discovers he has leprosy. He spends most of the remainder of his life in a Filipino leper colony. Based on actual events.

""This is the story of an American soldier [Ned Langford] who served in the Spanish-American war in the Philippines, and who many years after he had returned home became a leper."--P. vii."
