About the author

M. R. Trumbower, also listed as Milton R. Trumbower, was an American veterinary author associated with the United States Bureau of Animal Industry. He is credited on works including Special Report on Diseases of the Horse, Special Report on Diseases of Cattle, and Ophthalmia in Cattle.

Available records suggest he was active in veterinary medicine in the 1890s and early 1900s. Proceedings from the Illinois State Veterinary Medical Association identify Dr. M. R. Trumbower as its president in 1896, which points to a respected role in the profession as well as in public veterinary work.

His surviving books are practical rather than literary, written to help readers recognize and manage livestock disease. That makes his work a useful window into the history of animal care, agriculture, and early veterinary public health in the United States.
