An Enduring Veterinary Legacy
Veterinary medicine's rich and enduring legacy comes alive in these accounts of veterinarians who promoted and advanced animal health during the early decades of the 20th century. In interviews with Cornell alumni or their closest surviving family members, Donald F. Smith, dean emeritus of the College of Veterinary Medicine, captures fascinating accounts of the personal and professional lives of pioneering veterinary practitioners, industry leaders, and animal health experts.
Animal owners will experience the everyday humanity of these veterinarians; those who aspire to a career in veterinary practice will better appreciate the historical road that their predecessors have paved for them; and veterinarians everywhere will feel a kinship with these individuals, for they are, for all their extraordinary experiences and accomplishments, so much like the rest of us.
