Read a sample Read a sample

John Uri Lloyd was a pharmacist, scientist, manufacturer and novelist. His most important contributions were in the field of pharmacy and pharmacognosy. He was in large part responsible for the development and acceptance of an American materia medica. Lloyd in his spare time was also a novelist. His first work of fiction, Etidorpha, was of the Jules Verne genre, a semi-science fiction work incorporating philosophical concepts wedded to unorthodox theories of science. The other major novels of Lloyd were with one exception based upon his experiences growing up in Northern Kentucky. His novels are more valuable as historical sketches of the region than as literary efforts, but are still entertaining.
