Book Description

This is an interesting record of the struggle and successful career of a farmer's son who became the moving spirit in organising the surgical profession in America, and in founding the clinical Congress of Surgeons of North America (1910) which gave birth to the American College of Surgeons in 1913, and in 1905 Surgery, Gynecology and Obstetrics, which began with six hundred subscribers, now has more than thirteen thousand, and is described by Dr. William J. Mayo, in one of the two forewords, as the greatest surgical journal in the world. - British Institute of Radiology.
