We travelled to the up -island city of Courtenay yesterday to present Medical Man at the Courtenay branch of the Vancouver Island Regional Library. It was a lovely day for a drive and Courtenay is a beautiful, friendly, small city .
We were welcomed warmly at the Library. Many thanks to Matt Mukai and staff for preparing the meeting room for us. The book with its information about coal mining towns would certainly resonate with the descendants of the coal miners of nearby Comox and Cumberland.
It was a pleasant surprise to have a visitor from Vancouver present, and one from Victoria as well.
Everyone there enjoyed the reading. I choose a selection from 1910 from Medical Man, called,"Insanity at the Hotel and a Hanging". They are both from Robert's time as a pioneer doctor in Lethbridge, Alberta.
Medical Man tells the story of those times through the eyes of a physician who was there. Frontier medicine and frontier law.
