Fresh out of medical school at the State University of Iowa, the young and dedicated Dr. Edwin D. Frear set out in 1882 to brave the hardships, stuggles, and challenges that characterized the life and practice of the county doctor. His practice took him first to Salix and then to Sloan, two small towns set in the wide-open prairie of northwest Iowa.
As a child Cora Frear Hawkins often accompanied her father on his medical calls and later was able to assist him in his office. This is a recollection of her father and his work with additional information added from his diary.
