And largely unknown: this essay is part of a larger archival project to unveil this hidden history. For the United States itself, we now have the superb study by Joseph F. Spillane, Cocaine: From Medical Marvel to Modern Menace in the United States, 1884–1920 (Baltimore: Johns Hopkins Univ. Press, 1999); for global views, see Paul Gootenberg, ed., Cocaine: Global Histories (London: Routledge, 1999); as background, Steven B. Karch, M.D., A Brief History of Cocaine (Boca Raton: CRC Press, 1998). A strong source on transnational issues is William Walker III’s Drug Control in the Americas (Albuquerque: Univ. of New Mexico Press, 1981).
