Description
"A late comer to a market one might have thought saturated with books by and about doctors, Frontier Doctor deserves to rank with the best of them." -The New York Times "This is an interesting and valuable book by a man of unquestioned courage and strongly rooted opinions." -Oregon Historical Quarterly "The book, simply and well written, makes interesting reading. It also leaves the social historian more bits of material from the experience of a profession not only too busy to afford the luxury of bureaucratic red tape, but to record history as well." -The Mississippi Valley Historical Review "The volume is a fine document illustrative of the sociology behind medical practice and with the picturesque setting of Dr. Coe's story there is not a dull moment. . . . A thoroughly worthwhile contribution is this book and it should be both a best seller as well as an excellent social document of Americana." -The Journal of Educational Sociology
