Abstract/Notes Excerpt: David Dary’s Frontier Medicine is a compendium of the realities of sickness and health on the American frontier. Dary describes the diseases, treatments, and the doctors of the movement west, beginning with the natives and following through time and place into the western territories. He explores the social conditions of the frontier physician, how they lived, worked, and how some earned their fame. Frontier Medicine provides a wide range of grizzly accounts of quack doctors, remarkable survivals, pitiful deaths, and other realities from the unforgiving proving grounds of our young nation.
