Thoughts Of A Country Doctor: An Immigrant's Son Andrew E Mance SIGNED TG2

Born to Croation immigrant parents November 5, 1914 in Greensburg, Pennsylvania. His lather was a coal miner and later a lumberman-sawmill operator. At eleven years of age the author fired the sawmill steam boiler and at twelve drove a team of horses logging in the woods. Thereafter, each summer vacation was spent working in the woods and about a sawmill until his last year in school.
His primary education, to a great extent, was received in one-room country schools in Somerset County, Pennsylvania. In the summer of 1928, the family moved to Grant County, West Vit-ginia. And that fall, "the boy" was sent to St. John's Academy and later Junior College - a Lutheran church boarding school- in Petersburg, West Virginia. It was there he completed four years of high school and one year of college. His second year of college was completed at Potomac State College, Keyser, West Virginia.
