The collection consists of two items: a funeral program and Lange’s unpublished 45 page memoirs about his profession, titled “Trials and Tribulations of Practice in Walla Walla.” His reminiscences provide a rich source of information about relationships between physicians and hospital administrators, interactions among physicians, and the practice of medicine, particularly pediatrics, obstetrics, and gynecology in Walla Walla during the mid 20th century. Lange vividly describes his colleagues and his patients and covers a number of medical cases in depth. He devotes significant portions of his memoirs to discussions of abortion and changes in the medical management of childbirth. Researchers should note that Lange’s family edited his original manuscript.
