Book description
Why read it?
1 author picked The Doctor in Oregon as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
The history of the medical profession in Oregon is not what you might think. It wasn’t started by a bunch of scientists. Early “practitioners” were more snake oil salesmen than doctors. In fact, it was many years before any sort of standards existed. O. Larsells book gives all that history in all its less-than-stellar beginning. Among those highlighted are William Lysander Adams who was a vocal opponent of medical quackery.
From Tom's list on Oregon pioneer history.
