Carl and Ruth Cleveland, PSC graduates and founders of the Kansas City school that bears their name).Ratledge, DC, founder of today's Cleveland Chiropractic College of Los Angeles Kightlinger, DC, president of the Eastern Chiropractic Institute in New York City Anna Foy, DC, president of the first Kansas Board of Chiropractic Examiners in 1915.Ernest Duvall, DC, president of the Canadian Chiropractic College).The list of people who were allied with BJ prior to the NCM debacle is equally significant and extensive. William Charles Schulze, MD, DC, president and owner of the National College, considered primarily responsible for introducing physiotherapeutics in the chiropractic curriculum.Sauchelli, DC, probably the first person to speak about chiropractic on the radio Margetts, LLB, DC, National graduate and president of the American Chiropractic Association from 1922 to 1928 Loban, DC, former PSC faculty and co-founder of the Universal Chiropractic College, from which Hugh B.

Curiously, one hears precious little about these sources, although a very complete collection of The Chiropractor and the Fountain Head News is readily available from the archives of the David D. Similarly, the Fountain Head News, BJ's personal, weekly newsletter, provides a journalistic gold mine of current events, correspondence among chiropractors, reprinted papers from other chiropractic and medical journals, and the text of many oral presentations of various significant players in the chirosaga.

Among these are the monthly magazine, The Chiropractor, which was founded by DD and BJ in 1904, and which provides a running commentary on professional thoughts and activities. Indeed even for those whose primary historical interest is in BJ, his school and his times, there are additional and frequently richer sources of historical data. However, the green books in their entirety are still only necessary, but not sufficient reading for the DC who wishes a thorough understanding of the chiropractic story. Anyone who wishes to understand chiropractic today must at least review the PSC literary legacy, or fail to grasp one of our most important roots. 29 in BJ-speak, i.e., 29 years 'after chiropractic'), they collectively and individually touched the lives of the overwhelming majority of the profession, this in addition to the influence their books had upon chiropractic in its first quarter century.

Stephenson (author of the classic Chiropractic Textbook) E.A. Holmes (attorney for the UCA and later the NCA) Mabel Palmer (anatomist) Ralph W. Firth (co-founder of the Lincoln College) Arthur T. Burich (co-founder of the Lincoln College) John H. The green books are a rich source of insight into the lives and thoughts of their authors, among whom are B.J. The rest of the chiropractic heritage seems to go unnoticed in the birthplace of the profession (which suits my wallet very well, thank you very much). So when I visit Davenport I make out like a bandit, buying everything else but the PSC series, fifty cents here, two dollars there. Authored by the faculty of the Palmer School of Chiropractic (PSC) and printed in abundance, the green books are readily and inexpensively available all around the country.

Many items from the famous Palmer 'green book' series (Wiese & Lykins, 1986) are readily available at the shops, but these volumes are typically priced so high that it's usually silly to buy any of them in Davenport.
