Author Description

Excerpt from The Surgical Operations on President Cleveland in 1893 It had been Dr. Bryant's intention, as he repeatedly told me, at the proper time to publish a full account of the operations on President Cleveland, but for various reasons he delayed writing it. Unfortunately he died unexpectedly in April, 1914, leaving his task undone. Almost all those who took part are also dead. Commodore Benedict, Dr. Erdmann and myself are now the only ones still living who were on board the Oneida in July, 1893, and Dr. Erdman and I the only persons who were present at the two operations. Hence I felt it a duty to make the facts matter of public record before all of us had passed away. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
