Reviews
Review in Nebraska History:
“This book has something for nearly everyone. The reactions to personal suffering after a great calamity, the battles between integrity and greed, and legal wrangling are some of the most significant issues addressed. Any student of human nature will appreciate Paul’s efforts.”
Review in Nebraska History:
“All told, this is a wonderfully ambitious contribution to western history. The book displays a remarkable grasp and synthesis of a wide range of literature. It also provides a one-volume ‘Best of West,’ as in Elliott West, that brings together his finest contributions to western history in a thoughtful, wise lesson that can come only from an accomplished historian at the top of his game.”
Review in The Guy Who Reviews Sports Books:
“While I am not one who usually picks up a book because of the title, I admit that for this book in Harry Dalton, the unusual title was what grabbed my attention. I’m glad that Lee C. Kluck’s book on the former general manager of three American League teams was just as good as that title as it was one that I thoroughly enjoyed.”
Review in Journal of Anthropological Research:
“Art Effects is clearly a must-read for Americanists, who will find in it valuable syntheses, acute ethnographic analyses—particularly of Xinguanan and Parakana rituals—and a wealth of suggestive ideas. Beyond this specialized readership, anyone interested in the question of what art is and what it does will profit from reading this highly intelligent and engaging book.”
Review in The Sports Bookie:
“Comparing Spatz and Steinberg as a writing team to those theatrical greats may seem like a stretch, but it is totally appropriate. That is because their latest collaboration examines the life of a baseball player whose turbulent career on the diamond was equally fascinating on the stage and on film.”
Mention in The Washington Post:
“[A] funny and moving debut from Eric Schnall about an American art dealer haunted by infidelity.”
Review in The Sports Bookie:
“This book, edited by Southern California-based journalist Tom Hoffarth, is not a biography or a tribute. It is what the title implies — an appreciation of a broadcaster who touched so many lives on and off the field.”
Review in International Bear News newsletter:
“I highly recommend this book not only for the bear community but also for the general public interested in bears. Although the book has a very small section on bear safety, the most important advice is in the title: watch the bear.”
Review in Denver Posse of Westerners:
“Buffalo Bill and the Mormons contains a great deal of new and interesting information about the Grand Canyon expedition, the 1893 World’s Columbian Exposition in Chicago (where both Buffalo Bill and the Mormons appeared), visits by Buffalo Bill to Salt Lake City, and finally the development of Wyoming’s Big Horn Basin by Cody and the Mormons. This book is a very readable account and will be useful to anyone interested in more of the history of Buffalo Bill, the Mormons, and the American West in general.”
Sitting Bull and the Paradox of Lakota Nationhood
Review in H-History-and-Theory:
“It compels us to critically reflect on the narratives we perpetuate about Indigenous leaders and the frameworks we use to understand their legacies. This book is particularly suitable for courses in Native American studies, American history, and cultural studies, providing students with a comprehensive understanding of Native American resistance against colonial pressures.”
