No library of western/southwestern materials can be without this book. . . . --Books of the Southwest
This book goes far beyond biography, into the nature and soul of the American West. It is Stegner at his best, assaying an entire era of our history, packing his pages with insights as shrewd as his prose. --Ivan Doig
