It became my pleasant pastime during the past winter while browsing through the family papers to segregate those portions in my father's handwriting which pertain to the early history of the medical profession in Utah.
It is not in my power to do justice to those brave souls whose lives were so intimately bound up with the struggles of a pioneer people, and it is quite beyond the scope of this paper to offer more than to refer to a few of the early leaders in medical practice in Utah.
These comments I shall confine to those men who, from 1857 to 1870, were more or less actively associated with my father, Dr. W. F. Anderson, in the practice of medicine in our State of Utah.
