Abstract
Oscar Samuel Hoffman (1856-1926) was the first Jewish physician to settle in Omaha, Nebraska in 1883. He taught dermatology for 25 years at the Omaha Medical College and University of Nebraska, after completing postgraduate work in Vienna under the noted dermatologist Moritz Kaposi (1837-1902). His expertise, however, also included obstetrics, and he became the Professor of Obstetrics and Dermatology at Omaha Medical College. On July 14, 1913, Hoffman delivered Leslie Lynch King, Jr., better known by his later name, Gerald R. Ford, Jr., who became the 38th President of the United States in 1974. This contribution tells the story of that historic birth.
