| Description | San Antonio physician, book collector, and medical historian Dr. P.I. Nixon was the sole author of three books devoted to Texas medicine and co-author of a fourth. He was founder of the San Antonio Historical Association and served terms as president of the Bexar County Medical Library Association, Texas Surgical Society, San Antonio Ex-Students Society of Texas, San Antonio Historical Association, and the Philosophical Society of Texas. Due to Dr. Nixon's efforts, the Bexar County Medical Library was able to accumulate a large collection of rare medical books which was donated to the Briscoe Library in 1970; the collection is known as the P.I. Nixon Medical Historical Library. In A Century of Medicine in San Antonio Dr. Nixon describes the development of county medical practice from the primitive health conditions at a remote frontier outpost through the history of the Republic of Texas, World War I, and the years leading up to the 2nd World War, a century in which Bexar County "experienced the evolution from a few straw beds on the adobe floor of the Alamo with one doctor to modern, thoroughly equipped hospitals of three hundred beds and a wide-awake medical society of three hundred members.” |
