Proceedings of the First Meeting of the Historical Section of the County Medical Society of the City and County of Denver, John W. Amesse, George W. Miele, Nolie Mumey, privately printed, Denver, Colorado, 1931, 6.25 X 9.5 inches, 47 pp. Brown boards, quarter imitation leather; brown stamped title to front; deckled fore and bottom edge; text and photographs printed in sepia ink; ; text bright and unmarked; endpapers moderately rippled; interior lightly toned. Two slips of paper with what I believe is Mumey?s handwriting laid in between front pastedown and ffep; scans included. One paper says ?Robert Yellowtail, Crow Agency, Montana? Unclear what the other paper says or what their connection is, if any, to this particular book. Very good condition overall. One copy found in OCLC as of December 11, 2023. Scarce, clean copy of this extremely limited edition book of three essays written by three prominent Denver physicians; numbered 18 of a limited edition of 60 copies. John W. Amesse authored the essay on William Beaumont (1785-1853), a U.S. Army surgeon known as the ?Father of Gastric Physiology? for his research on human digestion. George W. Miele authored the essay reminiscing on the early days of the Jefferson Medical College; and Nolie Mumey authored the essay on Silas Weir Mitchell (1829-1914), a scientist and physician considered the father of medical neurology. On the introduction page, the contributors state that these three essays were published for private distribution. On the title page it simply states that this book was ?printed privately?, however, the device of Clason Press is printed after the last numbered page.…

Store description
Stellar Books & Ephemera specializes in unique items of Americana often known as one-offs--manuscripts, letters, diaries, photography material, letter-press publications, and broadsides, plus whatever fun books make their way into inventory. I spent 18 years building a rare book department at Back of Beyond Books in Moab, Utah and sold that business in May 2022.
