An American Physician In Turkey is a memoir written by Clarence Douglas Ussher, an American doctor who served as a medical missionary in Turkey during the early 20th century. The book is a detailed account of Ussher's experiences in the country, including his work as a physician and surgeon, his interactions with the local people and culture, and his observations on the political and social climate of the time. The narrative is divided into two parts: the first covering Ussher's experiences during peacetime, and the second during wartime. In the first part, Ussher describes his arrival in Turkey, his work at a hospital in Smyrna (modern-day Izmir), and his travels throughout the country. He also provides insights into Turkish customs and traditions, and reflects on the challenges of working as a foreign doctor in a new and unfamiliar environment. In the second part of the book, Ussher recounts his experiences during World War I, including his work at a military hospital in Constantinople (modern-day Istanbul) and his encounters with Turkish soldiers and civilians. He describes the impact of the war on the country, including the Armenian Genocide and the forced deportations of Armenians and other minorities. Throughout the book, Ussher provides a vivid and personal account of his experiences in Turkey, offering readers a unique perspective on the country and its people during a time of great change and upheaval.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
