Description

In the final episode of Season I, Doctor John and Doctor Guy discuss the time Napoleon "dropped the Crepe" and lost nearly 50,000 French troops in the West Indies to Yellow Fever and the army of a brilliant freed slave, L'Ouverture, ultimately setting the stage for the Louisiana Purchase.  (AKA The United States biggest land purchase #ever)  History and science are all over this one.
