Summary "This book is a sweeping saga of four generations of doctors within a single family who sought innovative ways to sustain themselves as medical practitioners in the American South between the early nineteenth to the latter half of the twentieth century. This study of four generations of Russell doctors is an historical study with a biographical thread running through it. It employs historiographical techniques to examine the lives of men whose birth years run from 1799 to 1915, and who lived in places as diverse as the Carolinas and Georgia, Illinois, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Arkansas, Texas, Pennsylvania, and New York"-- Provided by publisher
