About: A fascinating historical account details how three men--an ingenious dentist from Boston, his brilliant colleague from Harvard, and a mentally unstable geologist--combined efforts and pioneered the use of ether, a miraculous event that put an end to pain during surgery, but a bitter battle ensued plunging each man into a world of torment, greed, and triumph.
