The life and times of a vanishing breed -- the general practitioner -- who spent his whole professional life of 65+ years in the village of Greenville, Maine, and the surrounding wilderness. The book also teems with the wild, fresh and vivid life of an American frontier and the colorful characters of the region: lumbermen, hotelkeepers, railroad men, coastal and inland farmers. 320 pages, plus 16 pages of photos and map endpapers. Just a bit of shelf wear on the bottom edges, a wrinkle down the back of the jacket and light jacket edge wear.
