We also left off William Rothstein's American Physicians in the Nineteenth Century: From Sects to Science (Johns Hopkins University Press, reprint edition 1992) and Judith Walzer Leavitt's Brought to Bed: Child-Rearing in America, 1750-1950 (Oxford University Press, 1986) for similar reasons.

We could have easily picked several books from him, but we did not want his books to take up the entire list. We picked The Cholera Years, because it is our favorite, but almost any of his other books could be on here.
Third, these books are in no particularly order. We don't think number 1 is more important or better than number 10.
