I thoroughly enjoyed "Buggies, Blizzards and Babies", a memoir about E D Frear as written by his daughter and published in 1971. Set primarily in Iowa, the daughter, Cora, recounts her memories of helping her father and other stories of his days as a country doctor from the late 1800s into the early 1900s. This is a sweet, sentimental story that kept me entranced from beginning to end. In the vein of "Little House on the Pairie", this is not a scholarly work but rather a family story told in common terms. I will be passing this book around to others that I think will enjoy the story, too.… (mehr)

1611 Buggies, Blizzards, and Babies, by Cara Frear Hawkins (read 2 Jan 1981) This is a laudatory book about Dr. Edwin Frear, who practiced in Sloan, Iowa, and Sioux City, Iowa, from 1882 to about 1924, written by his daughter. But I found the book touching and I was moved at times by the good sentimentality in the book, though at times the book was rather pedestrian. It is a good book for the people who knew the doctor, but not otherwise likely to be read by many.
