Media reviews

“Commendably lucid . . . a wonderful job of resurrecting the past É For anyone wishing to visit this remarkable region up close and personal.”–JoAnn Levy, San Francisco Chronicle

“The story of the Western frontier is to the American imagination what Hector and Achilles were to the Greeks . . . Interesting, informative and–with period illustrations and photographs–handsomely published.”–Geoffrey Norman, Wall Street Journal

“A grand, sprawling story, populated by characters whose voices emerge loud and clear from their journals and letters . . . an unforgettable procession of dreamers and doers, losers and winners, villains and heroes (and heroines) in a well-told and carefully researched tale.”–David Haward Bain, New York Times Book Review

“A masterful treatment of a great American emblem.”–Anthony Day, Los Angeles Times
