His book depicted humorous clashes between polite and primitive cultures while using dialect for comic effects. The subject matter of Lewis's work was derived from encounters with planters, farmers, slaves, swamp dwellers, and hunters in the region. The stories in Odd Leaves from the Life of a Louisiana Swamp Doctor revealed personal shortcomings of Tensas, a swamp doctor Lewis employed, and his lack of experience as a medical student and physician and causing unintentional pain on his patients. Lewis often depicted grotesque and horrifying images in his framework. [3] Lewis born in Charleston, South Carolina, to David and Rachel Saloman Lewis as the seventh child, moved to Cincinnati at an early age, and lived for some time in Yazoo City, Mississippi after the death of his mother in 1831. [4] He became a medical apprentice in 1842 and attending the Louisville Medical Institute where he completed and earned his medical degree.
