| Abstract
|
:
|
"Suitable for the Wilds is a collection of Dr. Mary Percy Jackson's letters written to family and friends in the early years of her practice, from 1929 to 1931. The letters offer a glimpse of life in northern Alberta at the beginning of the Depression, when the region was being farmed and settled by new European immigrants. These homesteaders, along with the area's Aboriginal and Metis population, were Dr. Percy's patients, scattered throughout a territory covering nearly 400 square miles. Vigilant about vaccination, nutrition and preventive medicine, she quickly proved to be a talented physician who was truly ahead of her time, particularly in the area of tuberculosis treatment and prevention. Dr. Percy's dedication, good nature and unfailing sense of humour shine through in her letters."--Jacket.
