Description: Doctor Woman of the Cumberlands: The Autobiography of May Cravath Wharton, MD, 1953 1st Edition, cloth cover with dust jacketPublished by Uplands Black & white photos Map of Putnam County, Tennessee on endpapers Inspiring book about an amazing woman!When her husband, Edwin Wharton, became the principal of Pleasant Hill Academy in Tennessee, “Doctor May” (as she was called) became the academy physician. “Doctor May” was an amazing woman. Soon she was ministering to the needs of the wider community, often traveling on horseback in the middle of the night to respond to health emergencies. She created regional health clinics, built a small hospital in Pleasant Hill, and a larger Medical Center in nearby Crossville. Over time her dream expanded. She saw the need for a retirement community where foreign-service ministers, educators and medical professionals — those who had spent their lives in service to others—could settle in retirement. It would be a place where people could live simply and affordably in a beautiful rural setting, knowing health care would be available when needed. She named the village “Uplands.”Good+ condition for age: Book has minor dirt and wear on covers/spine, slight yellowing on pages, minor water stain on back endpaper, tight binding, intact pages, unmarked; DJ is in poor condition with missing front panel, detached front page, tears, significant wear, and stainingSee photos214pp.8.25x5.75x1" nw
