In Journeyman, Jane Eliza Stark explores the early life and formative years of William Garner Sutherland that led him to his later cranial discoveries. As a farm boy, tinkerer, and then printer, Sutherland’s experiences in learning how complex systems function lay the foundation for his future endeavors. Through vivid scenes of nineteenth-century Midwestern life, the book follows Sutherland’s family, his practical education in the newspaper trade, and his arrival at the American School of Osteopathy where the conditions for “the Thought” first took shape: the sudden insight that the beveled sutures of the cranial bones suggested purpose, subtle motion, and a design not yet understood.

Stark writes as both storyteller and historian. The text is thoroughly and transparently documented, with meticulous referencing and extensive appendices guiding readers to manuscripts, records, and contemporary newspapers. Dozens of photographs, technical drawings, and original maps bring the era vividly to life. Drawing on hard-to-access archives and newly obtained permissions, Journeyman presents insights into Sutherland’s early years that have not previously appeared in print.

Taken together, these elements reveal how “the Thought” did not arise in isolation but emerged from a lifetime of disciplined observation, mechanical skill, and intellectual curiosity. By situating Sutherland’s breakthrough within the texture of his formative years, Stark offers readers a richly illustrated, authoritative, and compelling foundation for the second volume to come.

Journeyman is an engaging and valuable resource for practitioners at any point in their professional journey, allied health professionals working with cranial approaches, students of history and biography, and patients wishing to better understand the roots of this distinctive field.

Reviews

“...a much-needed study of William Garner Sutherland. Because of Jane Stark’s exhaustive research and objective portrait of Sutherland in his milieu, this book and its companion volume will become the standard and authoritative account of his life.”
Carol Trowbridge, author of Andrew Taylor Still 1828-1917

“Accompanied by pictures, charts and maps, Journeyman tells a fascinating story of how William Garner Sutherland developed the initial skills and inspiration for his cranial model. A must read for anyone practicing cranial osteopathy.”
Marie Colford, DO(QC)

“...an amazing job of researching and describing a trio of histories: William Garner Sutherland’s genealogy and early years; the development of osteopathy; and the progress of the methods of typesetting and printing in the newspaper industry. Her detailed accounts of all three takes this story well beyond the range of a standard biography.”
Glenn Ickler, grandnephew of William Garner Sutherland

Journeyman is a well-referenced, scholarly book that does an exemplary job of exploring the formative periods of Sutherland’s life, including his work as a newspaper journeyman and his years studying osteopathic medicine at the first school of osteopathy. It provides a valuable backstory to Sutherland’s life and career.”
David B. Fuller, DO, FAAO, FNAOME, Professor, Department of OMM, Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine, author of Osteopathy and Swedenborg

“Jane Stark takes us with her on the adventure journey of the Sutherland family. What influenced W.G. Sutherland, his path into Osteopathy. In addition, she gives an extraordinary view on the history of osteopathy and even America! The book is strongly recommended for all who are interested in knowing this history.”
Frank Mueller MD; DO-DAAO; DOM-EROP, Orthopedic Surgeon & osteopathic physician, (Germany)

“An ordinary tale revealed in an extraordinary manner enables the reader to experience the hardships endured in early life, whilst gaining insights on how Sutherland’s future concepts were shaped.”
Tajinder K. Deoora, DO Dip Phyt MSc FSCCO. Faculty & Fellow of SCCO (UK), author of Healing Through Cranial Osteopathy

“This is not a mere biography of Sutherland; it is an osteopathic experience and awakening.”
Jason Haxton, Director, Museum of Osteopathic Medicine

An incredibly easy to use shelf pin hole jig

Good product

Works well for the must part. I ended up buying a different style bit collar stop because the one provided wasn't solid enough for me. Might be a personal preference

Awesome tool
Very easy to use, only issue I had was the location pin was a bit tight. Chucked it in the drill and polished it up with a scotch-brite and it worked perfectly. The end to end symmetry made it easy to move from one side to the other. Good price as well!
