Download and read online ebook Swamp Doctor write by William Mervale Smith. This book was released on 2001. Swamp Doctor available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. William Mervale Smith, surgeon of the 85th New York Volunteer Infantry, faithfully kept a diary of his Civil War experiences. Smith's introspective musings cover matters both professional and personal, from the horror of battle and the almost equally terrible politics of war to his deepest longings and questions about love and spirituality. While some diarists wrote self-consciously, anticipating eventual publication of their words, Smith's entries, as author Thomas Lowry explains, "are of such a personal and self-revelatory nature that we can reasonably conclude that he wrote to himself alone, as a sort of spiritual exercise of self-communication."

Odd Leaves from the Life of a Louisiana Swamp Doctor available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Henry Clay Lewis (1825–1850) was one of the leading southern humorists of the nineteenth century. Born in South Carolina, he grew up in Yazoo City, Mississippi, and attended medical school in Louisville, Kentucky. After graduation Dr. Lewis practiced in a backwoods Louisiana community on the Tensas River, where he treated masters and their slaves on plantations as well as hunters and squatters in the swamps. Odd Leaves from the Life of a Louisiana Swamp Doctor is a series of sketches that follow the outlandish misadventures of Dr. Madison Tensas—Lewis’ literary persona. Many of these stories were first published in New York’s Spirit of the Times. Using dialect, comic imagery, folklore, picaresque autobiography, and the form of the mock oral tale, Lewis presents a vigorous—even grotesque—vision of the southern backwoods, where life was often violent and brutal, sometimes shockingly funny, and always wildly different from the polished society of townsmen and wealthy planters. In an expansive new Introduction, Edwin T. Arnold places Lewis’ writing in the context of the times, discussing its role in the development of southwestern humor as a literary genre. Arnold emphasizes Lewis’ contribution to southern letters through the author’s psychological use of the narrating persona and the complex correlation between setting and theme.
