“This book breathes the very spirit of the young West. It is a flowing and human story that takes one into the heart of the time it describes.”

“The love story that is dragged in does not add to the credibility of the tale. If the volume is not an authentic record of the journey it pretends to chronicle, the deception is inexcusable. This does not mean that the book is a waste of time. On the contrary, it is a triumph of accuracy and readability. It lifts the curtain upon a most interesting scene and shows us a fairly typical American commonwealth at a definite stage of development.”
