Memoirs of Dr. William Groce Harrison 1881-1955.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/31226898

This accession consists of a spiral bound, typed manuscript entitled "Memoirs of Dr. William Groce Harrison." The volume is undated, but it was probably written late in Dr. Harrison's life. The "Memoirs" consist of sixty-five chapters in which Dr. Harrison outlines his youth, medical education, and experiences as a physician. In the "Memoirs," he describes his parents and siblings and also offers vivid descriptions of rural Alabama during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The "Memoirs" provide a valuable source of information about the Harrison family, Dr. Harrison's life, and the practice of medicine at the turn-of-the-century.
