Reviews

Joseph Kinyoun was a highly important yet tragic figure in the scientific and medical fields at the turn of the early 20th century. Today his legacy has been largely forgotten, but this biography by his great grandson brings Kinyoun's contributions vividly to life with a fresh perspective based on extensive research in his personal papers and multiple other sources. --William E. Parrish, Professor of History Emeritus, Mississippi State University
