A Great Heart of the South is a biographical account of the life and work of John T. Anderson, a medical missionary who dedicated his life to serving the people of the South. Written by Gordon Poteat, the book provides a detailed and inspiring portrait of Anderson's remarkable career, which spanned more than four decades and took him to some of the most challenging and impoverished regions of the country.Through vivid descriptions and first-hand accounts, Poteat chronicles Anderson's tireless efforts to provide medical care and spiritual guidance to those in need, often in the face of great adversity. From his early days as a young doctor in rural Georgia to his later work as a medical missionary in the mountains of Appalachia and the swamps of Louisiana, Anderson's story is one of courage, compassion, and unwavering dedication to his fellow human beings.Throughout the book, Poteat also explores the broader historical and cultural context in which Anderson lived and worked, shedding light on the social and economic challenges facing the South during the early 20th century. He also delves into Anderson's personal life, including his family background, his religious faith, and his relationships with colleagues and patients.Overall, A Great Heart of the South is a powerful and moving tribute to one of America's most remarkable medical missionaries, and a testament to the enduring power of compassion and service in the face of hardship and adversity.1921.
