description: Beginning preface - This is a partial biography of Dr. Jesse Mooney, referred to affectionately in the book as "Dr. Jesse". It begins when he was a lad of fourteen in the northern remoteness of Arkansas, and concludes with his experiences in that part of Indian Territory then commonly known as "Belle Starr Country". The facts about the doctor are written in the new concept of journalism now being taught, called "Fictionalized Biography". In this it embodies feeling, conversation and viewpoint, all elements used in writing fiction. However, all about the doctor is based on fact from family history and research, with nothing embellished or added. The stories and incidents as told to the author are re-created, using these elements of writing techniques to exemplify the doctor's experiences and way of life.
