He was an American doctor. The introduction reads:

"The following pages are offered to the medical profession with a certain particular purpose. The war gave us a marvelous opportunity to learn something about accident—injury—reconstruction—orthopedic surgery. The war hospitals were an enormous laboratory for surgery. Many experiments were tried. The careful students learned much. Those who saw a great deal and worked hard arrived at certain conclusions. The writer saw many hospitals in England, France and America. He saw hundreds of surgeons at work and he examined and treated thousands of wounded soldiers. A few of his observations and conclusions are here offered, to those who will read, for what they are worth."
