"It is a book which could have been written only by a Westerner; and it is a book for every American, Westerner and Easterner, Northerner and Southerner, to read, mark, ponder, and inwardly digest."—New York Times.
"The book radiates the spirit that makes the West fascinating."—Outlook.
"His chapters are set forth with that same easy facility in letters which has marked his works in fiction."—New York World.
"A notably serious and thoughtful study of the American mind, character, and tendencies in the Middle West.... It is a book of fascinating interest and of the greatest possible civic and patriotic value."—New York Tribune.
"Meredith Nicholson has done a great work in this masterly study of the Middle West. It is a national, nay, more, an international service which is performed in these illuminating pages, for in interpreting America to Americans the author is also interpreting America, or a very considerable section of it, to the world at large."—San Francisco Chronicle.
