A highly intelligent, curious and humanistic man of many talents who was as much at home alone in his light-weight silk tent beside a remote trout pond as he was in an operating room in New York City, he reveled in his beloved lakes and mountains and chronicled what he encountered with unflagging zest." PROFUSELY ILLUSTRATED in archival black & white photography and Dr. Gerster's b & w sketches, and maps, all with accompanying descriptive captions. 188 pages. LBSW6.
