DESCRIPTION:
Jessie R. Smith Jr. said Out Island Doctor. I borrowed this book from a friend in New Orleans. I was a little dubious about it from the '60's cover art. The very first chapter cast a net over me! I stayed up for hours to finish the story and have read and re-read the book. I have to return the book so I'm going to buy the newest print. "De Doctah" did something so many people haven't the courage to do by "going island" and then putting it in print. If you are an armchair adventurer, this book may make you get up out of the chair! This book is a WOW! I'll even say it backw. Frances Koerner said An Adventurers Treasure. At one time I had owned this book, after traveling in the out islands myself. After reading it several times I finally gave it away. When I met a man who would become a friend, who also traveled in some of the islands, and had a medical related job, I gave him the book as a gift. I knew it would be a treasure. When he finished, he let me read it again. This time it will not be given away.. Amazon Customer said De Doctor Done Reach.

Quoted from book's back cover: "Evans W. With me this order was reversed." "This much loved book tells how it came about, how he left small town America for a new and adventurous life as a doctor in the Bahamas, married an Englishwoman, learned to sail his own ketch in the treacherous Caribbean waters, built the castle of his dreams, and became a veritable legend in his adopted home. It is also a totally engaging and absorbing read.". Cottman writes: "Most doctors first study medicine, then practise medicine, then acquire a reputation. 'Out-Island Doctor' is splendid proof that a man can change his life in midstream
