Description:
Born in England in 1905, Mary Percy Jackson graduated from the University of Birmingham in 1927 with degrees in medicine & surgery. Responding to an advert in a medical journal recruiting doctors to work in Alberta, she moved there in 1929, settling in the Peace River area. Assigned to a territory of nearly 400 square miles, Jackson travelled mostly on horseback through mainly unmarked trails ministering to her patients. Vigilant about nutrition & vaccination, she promoted good health for five generations of Metis, Native & homesteader populations. In 1975 she was named 'Woman of the Year' by the Voice of Native Women for her tireless devotion & years of dedicated service. This book offers readers a new opportunity to discover this true trailblazer through her fascinating letters & correspondence that demonstrate clearly her profound impact on Alberta's social development in the early 20th century.
