Dr. Hap

The book is in fair condition, with noticeable wear to the brown cloth cover and frayed edges. The binding shows signs of loosening, and there are library stamps from the Penrose Public Library. There is no dust jacket, and it has been marked as discarded by the library. Despite these flaws, the pages remain intact and legible.

"Dr. Hap" by Clara Heintz Burke, as told to Adele Comandini, is a compelling narrative published by Coward-McCann, Inc. in 1961. Set against the backdrop of early 20th-century Alaska, this biography tells the story of Clara Heintz Burke and her husband, Dr. Hap, as they embark on a mission to establish a hospital in the remote wilderness. The book captures the challenges faced by the couple, including harsh weather and cultural barriers, while highlighting their dedication to improving health and education among the Eskimo and Indian communities. This edition, published in New York, is an ex-library copy from the Penrose Public Library in Colorado Springs, as indicated by the library stamps. The absence of a dust jacket and visible wear marks this copy as a well-used but intact piece of literary history.
