I think she must have had other intricacies, as well. I thought all the information on the shingle was a bit excessive, too, but I guess it's all about advertising.

My dentist had the same request from a man who came with his body guard while the diamond were inserted. Seems like that would just cause problems with teeth down the road.<br />Good save on Fort Mackenzie. I wonder if he and Taft remained friends.<br />I can't help but think about that shingle he hung out with all that info. Seems like it would have been a huge thing. LOL Frackleton seems like a very weird name.<br />Great post, Kirsten.<br />Sarah J.

Frackelton was a honest to goodness D.D.S. Sheridan was lucky to have him. Many Western towns did not. Not sure what, if anything, he used to deaden the area, but I'm assuming by the way Calamity Jane swore it didn't work that well. :) Thanks for stopping by!!

Not that we're out celebrating Labor Day, since it's a hundred degrees out there..but because I've been writing, etc. Then I realized my SOTW day is tomorrow and tuned in.<br />I had no idea dentists had so many tools at his disposal that far back. And did he deaden any of these areas he worked on? It would be interesting to see his arsenal of dentist tools. I thought dentistry was usually performed by the barber in town. Did I get that right?<br />This doctor was a real character, the kind who is as interesting as a character in a novel. <br />Your new novel sounds wonderful...good luck and Congratulations on its release.<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16272417114895975742noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1822452633282744192.post-76898265495749852602015-09-06T19:10:13.265-05:002015-09-06T19:10:13.265-05:00Thanks so much, Robyn, glad you enjoyed reading Dr...Thanks so much, Robyn, glad you enjoyed reading Dr. Frackelton's story!Kirsten Lynnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05720732595156726142noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1822452633282744192.post-15114772888584045392015-09-06T19:09:30.707-05:002015-09-06T19:09:30.707-05:00There are many stories of Dr. Frackelton, and each...There are many stories of Dr. Frackelton, and each proves the man was a true character of the West. :) So glad you enjoyed the post, Caroline, and thanks so much for the good wishes.Kirsten Lynnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05720732595156726142noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1822452633282744192.post-52606480994101812342015-09-06T18:45:53.381-05:002015-09-06T18:45:53.381-05:00Great post.
