Overview

Doctor Susan Anderson was a rare woman, indeed: a female frontier doctor who searched for health, success and romance in the wild western lands of the Colorado Rockies. Her true experiences are recounted by Cornell, who met the elderly Doc Susie when Cornell was a young girl. Three years of research have contributed to a biography which reads like an adventure novel.

Reviews

Author Virginia Cornell, former editor of the weekly Winter Park Manifest, writes with an engaging journalistic style. And her detective-like research yields some details of Colorado history often overlooked in scholarly tomes. -C.W. Buchholtz, Rocky Mountain News Doc Susie has long deserved a good biography, and Virginia Cornell has provided one in Doc Susie. - Ed Quillen, The Denver Post The digging of the Moffat Tunnel provided catastrophe, graft, and humor. Accidents and weather made each day a fresh experience. This active and human story mixes in just the right amount of cynicism to make it believable. - William Beatty, Booklist The late Ethel Barrymore, who had seen a photo spread about Doc Susie in a magazine, tried to obtain dramatic rights to her life story. Doc Susie simply replied, ""Fiddlesticks."" After reading Cornell's account, though, one can only agree that Barymore was on the right track-Doc Susie was a remarkable person. - Willah Weddon, Old West Magazine
