Editorial Reviews
David McCullough
A terrific book. The photographs alone are powerful documents of how it really was for so many. Much of the story is tragic. Many readers will be astonished that such conditions and suffering could ever have prevailed. But these were real people and these were their times. They never imagined themselves as figures in History with a capital H -- their concern was largely survival but they too built America and their story, in all, is finally one of affirmation: a reminder that people are our richest resource.
James Idema: Smithsonian
A well-documented history of a giant American industry and a fascinating story of the unique regional culture that it spawned... [The text] conveys something of the economic and environmental costs of this vast and audacious enterprise. This rewarding and disturbing book is bound to make you reflect on the human cost as well.
