In this intriguing narrative, David Dary charts how American
medicine has evolved since 1492, when New World settlers first
began combining European remedies with the traditional practices of
the native populations. It’s a story filled with colorful
characters, from quacks and con artists to heroic healers and
ingenious medicine men, and Dary tells it with an engaging style
and an eye for the telling detail. Dary also charts the evolution
of American medicine from these trial-and-error roots to its
contemporary high-tech, high-cost pharmaceutical and medical
industry.
Packed with fascinating facts about our medical past, Frontier
Medicine is an engaging and illuminating history of how our modern
medical system came into being.
