Book Description:
One bitter December day in 1907...
...when Train Number One on the Denver, Northwestern and Pacific Railway braked in Fraser, Colorado, a startling figure emerged: a well-dressed young woman carrying a little black bag and a small white dog.
Her name was Dr. Susan Anderson, and she had a broken heart and a bad case
of tuberculosis.
Packing a gun, journeying on horseback and snowshoe to heal the sick and injured, fighting
the exploitative railway management, Doc Susie forgot about dying and lived a life so
colorful that Hollywood wanted to make a movie of it.
For the first time, here is an account of the
real Doc SusieĀthe amazing, inspiring, exhilarating story of a woman who defied her
times and her fears to help those who needed her.
"Cornell reveals a fascinating character with a
colorful career." Rocky Mountain News
"A biography which reads like an adventure novel." Bookwatch

An excellent biography. The author did a lot of research - and then bridged some gaps with a bit of informed imagination. "Doc Susie" Anderson is a pioneer of whom to be proud. She helped the miner's and trainsmen and their families during a very difficult periodin the early 20th century. Her life is intriguing.
