Doctors of the Old West (Used Hardcover) - Robert F. Karolevitz

From medicine men to men of medicine, this is the stirring saga of the country doctors, the railroad and military surgeons, the nurses and mid-wives who battled cholera epidemics, extracted arrow-heads, delivered babies, patched scalps and gunshot wounds in a never-ending struggle to preserve life and health on the Western frontier. This book features doctors of prominence as well as the many unsung heroes in horse-and-buggy who braved the elements to minister to the sick and suffering in the log cabins, soddies and clapboard shacks...from California to Washington, from Texas to North Dakota and all the Old West in between.
