Summary: History brought to life through well chosen words.
Review: The reader feels the cold, the isolation geographically and as a woman entering a "man's" profession. Cornell's way with words draw us into a world little known to most of us, but one that expresses the hardiness of women in particular and Americans in general. Well researched and well written. It's not difficult to see that the author of Doc Susie had a passion for exposing Doc Susie's true grit, compassion and adventuresome spirit.

Rating:
Summary: Excellent narrative of 1800's Western U.S. female doctor.
Review: The story covers the trials and tribulations of a singlefemale doctor coping with the hardships of living inthe western U.S. in the late 1800's. The medical & daily language used is authentic and reminiscent of that period. Very easy reading filled with heart warming experiences. The story is based on the life of a true pioneer woman Dr. Susan Anderson struggling for acceptance in the harsh environment of the lumber camps, gold mines and railroad towns of the Rockies.
