From the rear cover
"With this exhaustively researched, elegantly written study, so successful as narrative and as scholarship, Malcolm J. Rohrbough joins Rodman Paul and J. S. Holliday as a master historian of this defining American epic."--Kevin Starr, author of Americans and the California Dream, 1850-1915
