A country doctor and natural philosopher, Bachelor was impelled to chronicle his life from 1870 to 1902, documenting the family's move to Arkansas, their settling a farm in Franklin County, and Bachelor's medical practice. Bachelor was an avid reader with wide-ranging interests in literature, science, nature, politics, and religion, and he became a self-professed freethinker in the 1870's. He was driven by a concept he called "fiat flux," an awareness of the "rapid flight of time" that motivated him to treat the people around him and the world itself as precious and fleeting.PhysiciansArkansasBiographyPhilosophersArkansasBiographyPhysiciansPhilosophers610.92Bachelor Wilson R.1827-1903.1556701Lindsey William D1556702MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910779973203321Fiat flux3819621UNINA
