The Saintly Scoundrel
Author: Andrew F. SmithPublisher: University of Illinois Press
ISBN: 9780252022821
Category : Ex-church members
Languages : en
Pages : 296
Book Description
This is the first biography of one of this nation's most outrageous individuals, a man who was president of the medical departments of two universities and chancellor of two others, a member and officer of at least twenty different agricultural, medical, or social organizations, an itinerant minister in three different denominations, and a lobbyist who successfully ushered bills through legislatures in Ohio, Virginia, Indiana, and Illinois. Bennett's roles ranged from mayor of Nauvoo, confidant of Joseph Smith, and chicken breeder to surgeon, quartermaster general of Illinois, promoter of the tomato, and diploma salesman. His story is brilliantly told by an author who spent nine years uncovering and piecing together the facts. The Saintly Scoundrel reveals Bennett as one of the nineteenth century's most enterprising and entertaining humbugs, truly a man who excelled at promoting beliefs, places, things, and himself, whose ability to abruptly shift positions on people and faiths would dazzle even the most formidable propagandist of the twentieth century.

Daniel Drake was a pioneering American physician and prolific writer. Born in New Jersey, his family moved to Kentucky, and by 1800 Drake was in Cincinnati, Ohio, studying to be a physician.

He settled in Cincinnati, and was one of the founding organizers of the Medical College of Ohio, as well as an asylum, a church, a medical journal, and the Ohio State Medical Society. Drake wrote on medical matters, but was also interested in geology, botany, zoology, and climate. Dr. Drake was continually trying to improve his city, his profession, medical education, and scientific research generally. He addresses these subjects and more in his writings.
