A biography of Dr. John Gorrie (1803-1855)--a physician, inventor, scientist, elected official, and a public health educator-- whose interest in tropical diseases, specifically yellow fever and malaria, led him to Apalachicola, Florida. There he practiced medicine in his office and two hospitals, and was nicknamed "The Fever Man." A man of tue compassion, Dr. Gorrie even used the second floor of his home to treat sick patients. The desire to comfort patients led to his inventions, and we can thank Dr. Gorrie for refrigeration, air conditioning, and ice.
Home Place is a collection of twenty-two poems that pulls the reader into a world of both the seen and unseen. Here, gone things whisper and the present is a layer synchronous with the past. Animals, plants, humans and spirits inhabit a particular place and home where Bluegrass and Appalachia meet.
