This well-loved copy of “The Surgeon And The Arrow” by R.D. Sutherland offers a unique glimpse into the life and adventures of a pioneering surgeon in the American West. Published in the late 19th century, the book recounts Sutherland’s experiences as a doctor on the frontier, where he often had to improvise medical treatments and navigate treacherous terrain to reach his patients. Beyond its historical value, the book is a captivating read, filled with tales of daring rescues, encounters with Native Americans, and the harsh realities of life on the frontier. Despite its worn condition, this copy bears the marks of its journey, with marginalia and highlights perhaps left by a previous reader who was equally enthralled by Sutherland’s stories. For collectors of Americana and medical history, this book offers a rare and authentic glimpse into a bygone era.
