Biography
Mountain Doctor by LeGette Blythe is a 1964 biography of Dr. Gaine Cannon, a physician who provided medical care to the poor in the remote Appalachian regions of North Carolina, inspired by the philosophy of Albert Schweitzer. The book details his work in the mid-20th century, his use of technology like shortwave radio, and his dedication to serving isolated communities, often for little to no money.
