A book by Dr. Nolie Mumey about his alma mater, the University of Arkansas School of Medicine, from which he graduated in 1916. This book covers the founding of the University and reflections on Mumey’s time there, as well as a brief history and overview of the state of Arkansas.

Nolie Mumey (1891-1984) was an American medical doctor, Army veteran, licensed pilot, and prolific author. From the Denver Public Library Archives: “One of his favorite anecdotes involved his inability to provide directions to Denver's downtown post office. This proved to be such an embarrassment, Mumey vowed to learn everything there was to know about Denver. In the process, he wrote nearly 100 books, many of which were devoted to Western history and medical topics” (Nolie Mumey Papers, Identifier: WH532). Very Good / Fair. Item #1043
