From the author; ""In attempting to depict medical men of various sorts as they practiced during the years 1780-81, I have drawn largely on contemporary diaries and letters a rich but confusing source. Because the same disease was known under various names and the treatments or remedies for it varied so widely, it proved difficult to select ailments recognizable to a modern reader and to select the most interesting of the several treatments. Doctor James Thatcher's invaluable and wonderfully detailed diary of his career, as a physician with the Continental Army, served as the backbone of the medical elements in this tale. My obligations to his memory are as profound as they are numerous."" A book that has been read but is in very good condition. Very minimal damage to the cover including scuff marks, but no holes or tears. Average used book with all pages present. Shows signs of wear with some minor defects. See pictures for details.
