Review in StrategyPage:
“This is a remarkable book. Author O’Neill first wrote on this subject, and with this title, thirty years ago. But over the course of the last thirty years, he has continued to investigate in ever increasing depth the events that took place in the Loudoun Valley prior to the Battle of Gettysburg. Digging ever deeper into archives, including multiple letters written by participants that are more available by digital means, his conclusions have undergone considerable change.”
Review in Civil War Monitor:
“The best historians know that they are engaged in an art of constant reinterpretation that enables them to shine new light on previously established conclusions. By continuing to mine repositories for information—including diaries, letters, memoirs, military records, and pension applications—O’Neill has brought his unexcelled knowledge of the pertinent geography and personalities to these still under appreciated events.”
Review in North of Oxford:
“Much of the compelling draw of Woman Pissing is its sense of craft—craft as an act but more so as a process of many acts. It is deeply personal and defiantly problematic. As with her previous work, Cooperman doesn’t hesitate to explain and prologue herself and her sense of self in the book, repositioning and centering the “her” that has so often been undercut and underappreciated.”
Review in H-Net Reviews:
“Gronbeck-Tedesco also deserves praise for his careful exploration of how Pedro Pan children integrated into their new environments, whether in Miami or further afield. To do so, he situates the ethnic and to an extent racial prejudice that Pedro Pan children and other Cubans faced against the backdrop of an evolving civil rights conversation in South Florida, which was still struggling to throw off the shackles of Jim Crow.”
Review in Emerging Civil War:
“The presentation of the book is attractive. Its maps are also well done and help orient readers who have perhaps only a passing familiarity of the Pacific Northwest’s geography. And in keeping with the rest of the book’s meticulous research, the author offers a surprisingly large number of photographs from a regiment with only a few hundred men from a sparsely settled state. Agents of Empire ably adds to the growing body of scholarship about the Civil War in the far west.”
Review in Heavy Feather Review:
“Animal Bodies is a fierce accomplishment, full of varied formal experiments with the essay yet dedicated to precise readable prose. It is a book to take on an airplane, to bring on long travels, to leave in some exotic place for the next traveler. Though you may not want to leave it, due to the circumstances, you are forced to travel light, and you feel its void in your pack, even though you have picked up another book to read on the way home.”
The North American West in the Twenty-First Century
Review in H-Environment:
“Rensink and the volume’s authors . . . have laid an indelible cornerstone that future historians can build on in their study of the twenty-first-century American West.”
Review in Los Angeles Review of Books:
“THE BODY REMEMBERS; the road remembers—everything reminds us of everything. Two Open Doors in a Field (2023), Sophie Klahr’s captivating second collection of poems, serves as a travelogue of the heart and mind, with each poem offering a postcard or snapshot of memories evoked by absence, presence, and emptiness.”
Review in H-Environment:
“Aware of the rise of twenty-first-century themes of climate change, social justice, and new generations of visitors, Noy assembled materials from diaries, journals, travel narratives, and oral histories of Native people, settlers, soldiers, writers, artists, and public officials. The breadth of these sources in a single volume is most impressive, as is the author’s effort to explain the historical forces that shaped the opinions of so diverse an array of personalities.”
