Review in True West Magazine:
“Collecting the West columnist and William F. Cody historian Steve Friesen has just released his latest book about his favorite Western hero, Galloping Gourmet: Eating and Drinking with Buffalo Bill (Bison Books, $24.95), and without any doubt from this historian, I can guarantee it is one of the most innovative and creative looks at the great showman ever published.”
Review in Spitball Magazine:
“However one views Fernando’s ultimate rank among the greats, this book adroitly demonstrates what a treasure he was to the game and its fans, of all backgrounds.”
Review in Western American Literature:
“Roberts offers a series of transgressions in this collection, and those acts are most often related to her subject rather than to her form. Such a move is refreshing when so many writers seem to think that form itself is the only way to risk, the only way to complicate, the only way to invite the reader into the process. While not all of Roberts essays are linear, many of them are, and that makes the magic of her collection even more astounding because we find ourselves in the gaps of unknowing even though gaps might not exist on the page.”
Review in Hattiesburg American & Jackson Clarion Ledger:
“Thompson pens this historical fiction in such a way as to make it as readable and entertaining as a dog-eared Louis L’Amour paperback. One does not have to read the first two installments of the trilogy to enjoy this book.”
Review in Strategy Page:
“Read this book if the experiences of ground pounders are of interest but it is not for those specializing in strategy or the ‘higher levels’ of war. The mundane, horrors, tactical basics, and the dreariness of life under combat are the subjects here.”
Review from Journal of Sports History:
“Author Keith Ryan Cartwright is a self- described ‘storyteller’—a fitting description. Cartwright’s new collective biography, Black Cowboys of Rodeo: Unsung Heroes from Harlem to Hollywood and the American West, introduces audiences to Black cowboys of rodeo and Hollywood. Cartwright’s collection covers more than ‘one hundred years’ worth of cowboy stories’ and accomplishes his goal to ensure that ‘they no longer will be among the nameless in American history’ (1).”
Review from Journal of Sports History:
“In addition to serving up a cautionary tale of how not to operate a sports business, McCue offers another valuable historical lesson. Those seeking an explanation of why the National Football League began to surpass baseball in national popularity during the 1960s need to look no further than Stumbling Around the Bases.”
Review in Journal of Sports History:
“Lamb presents a well-organized and researched story…It is a story of sadness and lost dreams rather than one of overcoming adversity. The boys never got to play in Williamsport. Little League invited them as spectators but gave in to the segregationists and did not enforce their own rules against racial barriers. Stolen Dreams brings baseball and the Civil Rights Movement into direct conflict, with the Cannon Street team ending up as the losers.”
Review in Journal of Sports History:
“Common Enemies delves into how the Hoyas and Hurricanes, as popular ‘touchstones for a new generation of Black athletes and fans,’ ignited this social transformation and, in turn, reshaped college basketball and football into ‘corporate and cultural juggernauts’ (13, 113).”
