Good medicine and good music : a biography of Mrs. Joe Person, patent remedy entrepreneur and musician, including the complete text of her 1903 autobiography / David Hursh and Chris Goertzen.
Alice Morgan Person (1840-1913) was a colorful North Carolinian. Born wealthy and married well, she fell into hardship after the Civil War but remarkably overcame it by marketing her own patent medicine and playing and sharing her arrangements of folk tunes. Presented here is her previously unpublished autobiography as well as a detailed account of her life based on new research and first-hand accounts. Her place in the histories of American patent medicine and southern folk music are discussed.
