THE DOCTOR'S DAUGHTERS

VIEW LARGER COVER

The middle of five daughters, Nell recalls growing up in Arkansas and Oklahoma at the beginning of the twentieth century. From 1909 to 1934, her father was a country doctor who made house calls from the back of a horse and more often than not was paid in chickens rather than cash. The book provides an eye-witness account of rural American life in the early twentieth century and is a treasure trove of small details ranging from daily life in Arkansas and Oklahoma. Dr. Sutton's first practice was in Elizabeth, Arkansas. He then moved to Oklahoma, taking the family first to infamous Keokuk Falls and finally to the sleepy town of Milfay where he retired in 1934. — The book includes a table of contents, large index, appendices, and dozens of vintage photographs.
