Title: Rugged mercy
Description: In the dead of night in 1894, a trembling, wide-eyed 13-year-old boy assisted with his first surgery--an experience that changed his life. At times, he performed operations by lantern light and traveled by buggy, dogsled, or Studebaker to reach remote patients. In 1917, he led the rescue effort following the North Star mine avalanche disaster.
