Hippocrates in a red vest is a warm, human biography of a frontier doctor who not only brought his compassion and healing talents to the rugged country of Southern Colorado, but who envisioned the land as one of myriad opportunities and numerous challenges. By the time he reached his mid-thirties (circa 1866) Michael Bishoar had participated on both sides in the Civil War as a surgeon, had established a private medical practice , had become an editor, legislator, judge, farmer, cotton speculator, businessman, and mayor of Dobytown, the toughest town on the Oregon Trail.
