The late Willis E. Piper grew up in the 19th century and adhered to the New England work ethic. He became a farm worker, carpenter, teacher, cowboy, contractor, and finally a commissioner of Yellowstone County in Montana.
His book covers a period in the Old West when settling and homestead building were beginning. The author relates details of the roundups, the mining in the mountains of Colorado, and the various jobs the Pipers held to support their families. Although the story begins in New Hampshire, the development of the Piper Company occurred in Pueblo. Willis Piper and his brothers did considerable work in and around Pueblo, then branched out taking contracts in Montana. He finally settled in Long Beach, California. He wrote this memoir in 1937 and only recently have his descendants decided to have it published.

Escape from Slovenia
This book was written by Joseph Kovacic, MD. He sent the manuscript to me so I helped expedite its publication. The book is about Dr. Kovacic's successful escape from the Communist regime of President Tito. His ordeal is graphically portrayed as he and his native countrymen fought their way out of the country. His escape entailed dealing with adverse forces of Yugoslavia, Germany, and England.
He is a retired orthopedic surgeon who was trained both in Europe and America. He became an anatomy instructor and clinician while serving in the U.S. Army.

He also tells about his children and their eventual occupations as they settle in California and Oregon, and about some of the more illustrious doctors who practiced in Redding.
Life and Lectures of Lent Johnson, MD
SYNOPSIS
The Life and Lectures of Lent Johnson, M. D. arose because of my high regard for this
pathologist who was chief of pathology at the Armed Forces Institute of
Pathology (AFIP) for 50 years. The AFIP is the referral center for all tissues
taken from members of the military. By peering through his microscope at
samples sent to him by referring surgeons, Dr. Johnson became the final judge
of the disease that afflicted the person from whom the tissue was taken.
This book would be of interest to any prospective orthopedic
surgeon and any other person interested in the workings of the human body. Dr.
Johnson’s concepts, which include the basic understanding of cell physiology to
the glomoid apparatus, have not hitherto been published in any single
publication. It is possible that orgasms and hot flashes are products of the
integrated glomoid network.
