. Dr. James Carroll was born in England and emigrated to Canada at the age of 16. Then in 1874 he relocated to the United States where he joined the U.S. Army. He was assigned to the Yellow Fever Commission lead by Dr. Walter Reed in Cuba as second in command. The doctors used human volunteers as well as themselves as test subjects. Dr. Carroll was the first to become infected through a bin in August, 1900. While he did make a full recovery, his bout of Yellow Fever left Dr. Carroll with acute dilation of the heart, which lead to his death on September 6, 1907. (archive.hshsl.umaryland.edu).
