"The first adequate history of the High Country Empire I have ever
found. . . . This is vivid, vigorous history, rich with incident,
solid with research, firm with informed opinion. . . . On total
score this is an outstanding book."--Hal Borland, Saturday Review.
"It will make excellent supplementary reading for students of the
American West, complementing the work of Bernard De Voto and Carl
F. Kraenzel."--Walter Prescott Webb, New York Times Book Review.
"Mr. Athearn is not only a good historian, he is an exceptionally
able writer. His sparkling narrative--filled with quotable
anecdotes and general perceptive insights--is a delight to
read."--Gene M. Gressley, Library Journal. "This is a complex,
many-sided story, and the author . . . somehow manages to hold it
down to reasonable length and at the same time retain much of the
variety and color inherent in his theme."--Oscar Lewis, New York
Herald Tribune Book Review. "A very great mass of scholarly
knowledge expands, illuminates, and makes all alive within the
major framework, and Dr. Athearn writes with power and charm and is
never pedestrian or pedantic."--San Francisco Chronicle. "Professor
Athearn's depth of historical knowledge and perspective ties the
story of this high country empire together so that it is socially
and economically meaningful and at the same time
entertaining."--Harlan Trott, Christian Science Monitor.
