Book Reviews of Beyond the Hundredth Meridian: John Wesley Powell and the Second Opening of the West
Book Review: Stegner at His Best
Summary: 4 Stars
Superb. So well written. Needless to say, Stegner writes of areas he has known first hand, rivers he has navigated and the depth of times and places only he seems capable of knitting together. A must-read for Western American historians and those having just general interest. Reminds one of Bechloss' Undaunted Courage, although slightly different considering the time written and the base purposes of the journeys.
