A Frontier Doctor (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781436682978)

""A Frontier Doctor"" is a memoir written by Henry F. Hoyt, an American physician who practiced medicine in the Western United States during the late 19th century. The book chronicles Hoyt's experiences as a doctor in the frontier towns of Colorado, Wyoming, and Montana, where he treated a wide range of patients, from miners and cowboys to Native Americans and outlaws. Hoyt's memoir offers a vivid and often humorous account of the challenges and rewards of practicing medicine in the Wild West, including encounters with dangerous animals, harsh weather conditions, and the occasional gunfight. The book also provides insights into the social and cultural dynamics of the frontier, including the role of women, the impact of alcohol and gambling, and the tensions between different ethnic and racial groups. Overall, ""A Frontier Doctor"" is a fascinating and informative read for anyone interested in the history of the American West or the practice of medicine in the 19th century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
