About This Item
London: Readers Union, 1946. Readers Union edition from 1946. Quite a bit of creasing and tears to the edges of dustwrapper, with the top inch or so missing at the spine. Some bumping to spine ends and corners of blue cloth-covered boards, otherwise a good tight copy of this hard-cover book. The author's life-story from his impoverished childhood as an orphaned Cuban immigrant in New York in the 1880s, his medical training in the late nineteenth century, and his many years of practise in Alaska. 243pp.. Book Club (BCE/BOMC). Hard Cover. Good/Fair. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.
