Surgeon Errant, the Life and Writings of William Henry Bucher, 1874-1934, is a biography and compilation of Bucher's writings edited by Emil Bogen after Bucher's untimely death. It includes travel notes from his time in the Navy, journal entries from his time at Olive View, and essays and poems written by Bucher.

This set of documents contains both correspondence about Bucher's writings, as well as manuscripts of writings himself. Poems, essays, toasts, speechers, and articles are represented. Many of the speeches are titled with the events they were for, such as Homecoming Day and Labor Camp.

The Radio Talks in this file are written by Bucher until his death in 1934, but continue on, written by a myriad of those who picked up the baton to keep them going for the patients. The loose file contains manuscripts with edits and the notebook contains finished writings.
