The item arrived in good time. The book came in great condition, will like to do business again sometime. I will recommend to other Amazon users. Thank you

You guys rocked it!!! I wasn't expecting to receive my book that quick! I had an assignment that was due today and I completed it on time! Unlike my other book that I am still waiting for :(

Product came fast and quick! Came in 2 days and I ordered on a Sunday so that says something. I would definitely recommend buying this book!!

Very non ethnocentric book. I loved the look into this part of California history. This was required reading for a class but i ended up reading it cover to cover twice.

"Hurtado tackles two of the thorniest of historical subjects--frontiers and sexuality. That he does so with good research, style, and wit makes this an enthralling, sophisticated study." (Anne Butler, JOURNAL OF AMERICAN HISTORY)
INTIMATE FRONTIERS "is a truly masterful piece of history that reveals the significance of gender and sexuality in the American West and further proves the importance of the West to the study of American history in general. The book will prove valuable in U.S. survey, women's history, and American West classes as well as popular among more casual readers of history." (Margaret Jacobs, AMERICAN HISTORICAL REVIEW)
"In INTIMATE FRONTIERS Hurtado has pushed discussions of gender and culture in the Borderlands toward a new level of sophistication." (Dedra S. McDonald, NEW MEXICO HISTORICAL REVIEW)
"INTIMATE FRONTIERS, intended for stuidents and the general reader, does a masterful job of explaining in clear, jargon-free language, the theoretical keystones of contemporary gender scholarship. Hurtado's selection of vivid vignettes regarding the Donner Party, Olive Oatman's captivity, and Amelia Kuschinsky's abortion will engage readers." (Sherry L. Smith, WESTERN HISTORICAL QUARTERLY)

This book was exactly what I ordered. the description of the books condition was right on point.
