Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Near Fine. 1st Edition. First Edition. Frontispiece, xviii, half-title leaf, 293 pp; illus. Original cloth. Near Fine, in near fine dust jacket. Signed by Longmire. 'When Dr. Blalock was asked what area of Surgery Bill specialized in he responded 'difficult surgery.' He was described as being unusually mature and competent with impeccable judgment, very cool under pressure, and had a charisma which made him attractive to almost all to whom he came into contact' (Longmire Surgical Society Page on UCLA Health Web site). Longmire 'was the primary assistant to Dr Alfred Blalock when the first successful blue baby operation was performed in 1944 a ground breaking procedure that allowed infants with severe heart deformities to live a more normal life. His outstanding performance as a resident warranted a general thoracic surgical appointment, but none was available at that time. Being eager to retain him in the department, Dr. Blalock appointed him in 1948 as an associate professor in charge of plastic surgery. Fortuitously in that same year a new medical school at UCLA was being opened and faculty recruitment was underway. At age 35 Longmire became the first chairman of surgery - a position in which he served with great distinction until 1976' ('In Memoriam', University of California Academic Senate Web site).

Love to you and Jean / Nancy." Additionally inscribed on the front free endpaper: "To Bill Longmire with my appreciation and affection for remembering my father in this way - Nancy Reagan." A beautiful association copy. Dr. Loyal Davis (1896-1982), a neurosurgeon from Chicago, married Nancy Reagan's mother, Edith, when Nancy was 8 years old. Davis was Nancy's father figure, officially adopting her when she was a teenager. She spoke highly of him often, stating he was "a man of great integrity who exemplified old-fashioned values" (My Turn, pp. 74). He became the editor of the Surgery, Gynecology & Obstetrics scientific journal in 1938 and held the position until his passing in 1982. The recipient of this copy, Dr. William Longmire, Jr., was Professor and Chairman of the Department of Surgery at UCLA from 1938 to 1982. Longmire, Jr. contributed an article to this volume titled "Loyal Davis' Personal Qualities and Their Influence on American Surgery.". Signed.
