Observations on Central Oregon and the Changing West
Frontier Doctor, Urling C. Coe’s autobiographical account of his thirteen years in Central Oregon, details the extraordinary experiences of a young physician in a frontier town, from childbirthing to epidemics, broken bones to unwanted pregnancies. In 1905 Coe became the first licensed doctor in what he called “the heart of the last pioneer stock country of the West.” His colorful, firsthand stories about treating patientscowboys, rustlers, ranch wives, prostitutes, homesteaders, town boosters, and Native Americansoffer a vivid social history of town and ranch life on the Oregon high desert. They also document the development of a Western boomtown: with the arrival of the railroad in 1911, the wide-open settlement known as Farewell Bend was transformed into an important center of industry, commerce, and culture.
