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. 606 $aPhysicians$zArkansas$vBiography 606 $aPhilosophers$zArkansas$vBiography 615 0$aPhysicians 615 0$aPhilosophers 676 $a610.92 700 $aBachelor$b Wilson R.$f1827-1903.$01556701 701 $aLindsey$b William D$01556702 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910779973203321 996 $aFiat flux$93819621 997 $aUNINA
