Ernest E. Tucker was a longtime friend and student of the founder of Osteopathy, Doctor A. T. Still. Decades later, Tucker wrote down his memories of Still and was encouraged by readers to publish his manuscript.
With Tucker’s help, we get to imagine what it was like to be an early student of Still. Tucker's classical education and brilliant metaphors intertwine seamlessly with Still’s frontiersman language and intuitive wisdom.
This book has waited over seventy years to be published. Here, we present to you the first publication of Tucker’s original manuscript with the addition of notes, sources, photos, and illustrations, to provide context and to make the writings even more accessible to the reader.
The stories in this book reveal parts of Still and his life that influenced his revelations in Osteopathy.
Tucker also brought to light Still’s spiritual connection with direct quotes from Still not found elsewhere.
Still’s prophecy that Tucker would be “picking apples,” or acquiring knowledge throughout life, is an essential reminder that we can all be forever students.
