Happy Birthday Dr. Andrew Taylor Still! On August 6, 1828, A. T. Still was born in Lee County, Virginia, to Rev. Abram Still and Martha Still. "I suppose I began life as other children, with the animal form, mind, and motion all in running order. I suppose I bawled, and filled the bill of nature in the baby life."- Opening words to chapter one of the Autobiography of A. T. Still
