Confessions Of A Coal Camp Doctor And Other Stories

A rare look into the past by a man who lived it. Follow Doctor Dorman as he makes house call, hospital visits, does emergency surgery, goes underground and delivers babies in the coal camps of Carbon County.

Excerpt from The Camp Doctor: And Other Stories The primeval man, and especially the lumber man, does not like to have his prerogative over his own body limited. Camp bosses know this, and have to act accordingly. Many lumbermen will rather forego wages than be made into tools, or mere machines, like factory hands. Given liberty to do work in his own way, the lumberman will yield work that few can equal, but you'must not restrain his liberty to live and do as he likes.
