When Mollie Babcock stepped off the train in Salt Lake City; Utah; in 1890; she knew she had to start a new life. She'd left her husband and their medical practice in Iowa; and with only a few hundred dollars in her pocket and a great deal of pride; she set out to find a new position as a physician. She was offered a job as doctor to the miners at Bannack; Montana; and thus began her epic adventures in the Rocky Mountain West.The true story of a medicine woman who found opportunity in the wide-open spaces of America's frontier west; Pioneer Doctor: The Story of a Woman's Work; is not just a beautifully written and thoroughly researched story of a fascinating woman's life. It is also the story of an era when daring women ventured forth and changed history for the rest of us.

A Complete History of the Liberal ArtsBy MagisterI thoroughly enjoyed reading about the development of the "liberal arts tradition" from its origin to the present time. This is a tremendous resource document. It should read and studied by anyone seriously interested in the "liberal arts." It complements Father Roche's book "Why Choose the Liberal Arts?" Professor Kimball has done us a great service by developing and writing this resource document.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.
