William Mitchell Banks was a successful surgeon who introduced the radical mastectomy the subject of his Lettsomian lectures into practice. He helped found the Univ. of Liverpool and was a book collector in the history of medicine. A wonderful jaunty narrative of his voyage aboard the Argo with 14 companions going to Iceland Faroe Islands and Norway. It contains a number of surprises e.g. "A beautiful schooner yacht glided into the bay with the setting sun and lay beside us. It belonged to Sir William Thomson Lord Kelvin ." Banks sketches a picture of slow-moving life aboard with no purpose other than "going" with good conversation food and drink. His reports of the local life when landing the villages harbors the people he and his companions encounter and natural environment are informative short and to the point. The "next thing" seemingly implicit with each comment. An enjoyable narrative and trip to be envied. The photographs are by Richard Caton a physician and fellow traveller.

1887réf. List1935Mitchell 1887. 8vo wraps 82 pp. Tears to wraps partially disbound contents very good good overall. Good. An unrecorded promotional book written about the city of Mitchell four years after its founding and near the end of the Dakota Boom. The introduction states "No apology is needed for the publication at this point of a pamphlet setting forth the advantages of this city and the country tributary thereto. The east is overcrowded with people. the west presents the opposite condition. Business opportunities are plenty. A little money goes a great ways." The book is illustrated with woodcut illustrations of the scenes and businesses of Mitchell and a map on the rear wrap shows the Chicago Milwaukee and St. Paul Railway for which Mitchell provides a junction of two of the branches.
