This book provides a first hand narrative of Andrew Taylor Still’s life and the development of Osteopathy. This is the first edition of this work and is slightly longer than the second edition. This edition was published the first time June 15, 1897 by Still in Kirksville, MO. He states in the preface that this work is a collection of the truth of his life as he remembers it, and suggests that facts and figures may not be perfectly accurate as he took no notes in his life. He describes frontier living as a boy and young man. He talks about his becoming a physician and all that entailed. His political stand is evidenced by his support of the Free State movement in Kansas in the 1860s. He also discusses how Osteopathy developed out of his need to find something better than what medical practice had to offer at the time. The book outlines how Still began to train others in this work. Included are also some transcriptions of speeches given at birthdays and school events. Written in his own plain English style, this book provides a clear picture of the old doctor.
