Description
Dr Charles Paglar (1894-1954) is a well-known and well-loved doctor and community leader of his time, but there are few official references on his personal life. This is a story that should have been told long ago, and Dr Paglar's son Eric tried to write it. Gleaned from oral history interviews - particularly those of his son Eric Paglar - and historical documents, this book tells the story of a colourful Eurasian doctor who administered to the poor of all races, often without expecting a fee or appreciation in return. It is the true story of a life that was not without controversy, but which made Dr Paglar a folk hero in his own right.
