Cheney Duvall M.D. Series Written by Gilbert Morris and Lynn Morris, and published by Bethany House, this book series follows the story of a young woman, among the first to graduate from Medical School immediately following the Civil War. Interest in this series was very strong during publication, with books 6, 7, and 8 being highly anticipated by fans. Historical figures and events were introduced, and the authors shed light on controversial subjects such as a female doctor working with a male nurse, reconstruction in the south, and prostitution. In the series we meet historical figures such as Fanny Crosby, the Marquess of Queensbury, Nathan Bedford Forrest, and others. The characters also traverse through events like cholera outbreaks, the Panama Canal Railway, the birth of the KKK, and the invention of Nitroglycerin.
The series was rereleased with updated cover art beginning in 2011. The updated books are available in paperback and Kindle editions.
