Doctor Mallory is written by Alan Hart and published by . It's available with International Standard Book Number or ISBN identification 1955593124 (ISBN 10) and 9781955593120 (ISBN 13).

An invaluable entry in the history of Pacific Northwest literature, Hart's novel explores the realities of life in a small logging town on the Oregon coast in the early twentieth century, where Robert Mallory, an optimistic young doctor, attempts to maintain his ideals and integrity in the face of challenges both social and personal. With a lived understanding of life in Oregon as well as the realities of the medical profession, Hart--in this debut novel that became a bestseller for Scribner in 1935--reveals the beauty and cruelty of characters forging lives at the northwestern edge of the country. Out of print for decades, Doctor Mallory fascinates now not only for its depiction of pre-war coastal Oregon, but also for Hart's compassion for men and women whose struggles were often endured amid social silence and personal solitude.
