| (Frontispiece portrait, 1877.) James Still (1812-1882) was a self-educated and highly successful homeopath and herbalist known as the “Black Doctor of the Pines.” In 1877, he published his autobiography, “Early Recollections and Life of Dr. James Still,” featuring the portrait above. The copy of this book held in RBHS-Special Collections is inscribed by Still’s daughter-in-law Elizabeth, whose husband, James Thomas Still, was one of the first African-American graduates of Harvard Medical School.
