Publisher Description:

In 1889, Susan La Flesche became the first Native American doctor in US history and immediately acquired 1,244 patients scattered across 1,350 square miles of countryside with few roads. This frail Indian woman crashed thick walls of prejudice to improve the lot of her people.
