I bought "Prince of Quacks" because Dr. Francis Tumblety is a local legend in my hometown (Hamilton, Ontario). A walking tour points out the location where he supposedly opened an office after moving here temporarily in July 1856. I'd also heard Timothy Riordan being interviewed on Rippercast, a podcast series about the Whitechapel murders, and been impressed both by Tumblety's story and Riordan's mastery of it.The book is a massive research triumph. Tumblety worked and played in Canada, the United States, and Europe, and his career spanned several decades, so putting together such a complete history was no small achievement. I was pleased to see that this is not another `Ripper suspect' book. The Whitechapel murders are included because Tumblety was questioned about them, but the real focus of "Prince of Quacks" is Tumblety himself.What makes Tumblety so fascinating is that he represented the best and worst of the era he lived in. On one hand he was a wealthy medical professional who hobnobbed with the rich and famous; his name was linked to Abraham Lincoln, Ulysses S. Grant, and the Prince of Wales. On the other, he sold contraceptive and abortion medication and carried on steamy affairs with much younger men. Many of his patients hailed the `Indian herb doctor' (as he called himself) for saving them from painful surgical procedures, but the mainstream medical community derided him as a dangerous quack and tried to put him out of business.A minor criticism: from time to time the narrative is slowed down by excessive and arguably superfluous detail i.e. the newspapers Tumblety advertised in, which editions published the ads, etc. But it doesn't happen often and readers who aren't interested in such facts can always skim ahead."Prince of Quacks" is a well-written and compelling look at a forgotten nineteenth century maverick. Francis Tumblety may be the only non-royal Ripper suspect whose life overshadows his tenuous connection to the Whitechapel murders.
