“For any one who has an interest in travel, in adventure, and in the hardihood of the pioneer this is a great story.”—Baltimore Herald.
“Probably no incident in the Winning of the West exceeds or even equals in romantic interest that pioneer journey across the continent by Lewis and Clark.”—The Churchman.
“It is concise, comprehensive, and readable, and will be useful to young and old alike. The book is illustrated by reproductions of drawings from Catlin, Schoolcraft, and other early observers. Ernest Thompson Seton contributes four animal drawings.”—St. Louis Post-Dispatch.
“More readable than a romance, full of hair-breadth escapes and imminent perils from savage man and beast, by storm and flood, by sickness and cold and starvation.”—Chicago Post.
