BURROWS, BOB

Healing in the Wilderness a History of the United Church Mission Hospitals

Madeira Park, BC: Harbour Publishing, 2004. First Edition. Paperback. ISBN: 1550173383. Signed by Author; Inscribed by the author on the title page. A bright, solid book, appears unread.; Trade PB; B&W Photographs; 9 X 6 X 0.60 inches; 240 pages; "This unforgettable story reveals how medical missionaries responded to crises, emergencies and sudden illnesses--including grizzly bear attacks and airplane crashes--without modern technology or urban hospitals. It portrays the small missions and infirmaries and tells how their staff handled life and death in the deep bush, on mountain ranges, in Native villages, on trackless prairies and on distant islands. It describes the sacrifices of devoted physicians, nurses and their families as they healed the sick and wounded, often under dreadful circumstances and in primitive conditions. Author Bob Burrows is uniquely qualified to relate this fascinating narrative of the United Church Mission Hospitals. A United Church minister for more than four decades, he has piloted an aircraft and captained a ship to deliver care to remote areas of British Columbia. He has also worked for both the BC and federal governments in positions of public trust dedicated to ensuring the human rights of aboriginal people, women and minority groups. ". Near Fine .

Inscribed by Martha McCracken Howard, one of Josiah McCracken's daughters. ; 276 pages; Joe was an All-American football star and a medal winner in the shot put and the hammer throw in the 1900 Olympics.

He made his most lasting mark [leading] the medical college of St. John's University and [helping] Chinese refugees who flooded into Shanghai after the Japanese invasion. [T]he book is just as much ... about his wife Helen and the trials and joys of raising eight children. It is also the story of their third daughter, Mary, who was crippled by polio before she was two and who fought courageously for over thirty years to live a normal life. Taken together, they become the story of a large, close-knit missionary family in China during the turbulent years of 1907-1941.. Near Fine with no dust jacket .
