"The story is human and alive. It has the 'touch and go' of the vibrating life of the expansive American West and puts the country and the people vividly before the reader."—Philadelphia Times-Saturday Review.

"Highly finished and serves to mirror the West of thirty years ago, when the picturesque cowboy was the dominant figure in every Western settlement."—San Francisco Chronicle.
"A legitimate successor to 'The Virginian,' a story of Western tales, full of color and outdoors, and a shrewd relish of humor."—Albany Argus.
"It is a book that one may pick up for a few moments and be transported back to the days which are no more, when the Indian and the ranchman, the soldier and the gambler and the adventurer, thrown together, created a society that was never dull. In these stories Mr. Wister has reproduced this life in fine fashion. The atmosphere of the book is buoyant. The spirit of the wild is in it. It is a delineation of life and society made familiar to an earlier generation by the nickel library, but very much truer to life and expressed by a literary artist."—Boston Herald.
"It is a pleasant hour with the world's great minds and a strong man's belief in the greatness of his native land."—Lexington Herald.
"The stories show Mr. Wister at his best. It would be a difficult task to give the stories a rating as to value. All are good. Admirers of Wister will find in this book one that they will read several times."—Detroit News.
