SAGEBRUSH SURGEON

by Florence Crannell Means ‧ RELEASE DATE: Jan. 1, 1956

Every institution is but the lengthened shadow of a man. The Ganado Mission to the Navahos is one of the largest mission stations in the world -- a veritable city consisting of a church, a hospital, a nurses' training school, a light plant, a power plant, a garage, a laundry, a bakery and a farm. All of this has been built under the dynamic leadership of Dr. Clarence Salsbury,- surgeon, mission administrator, public relations man, pastor and public health administrator -- but above all a Christian missionary. This is the story of his life and work -- well told and illustrative of what can be done among a needy and superstitious people by a man with the love of Christ in his heart, endowed with devotion, courage, imagination and faith. As the American Indian is to be the subject of special study in all the Protestant churches this year this book is of timely, interest.
