Hudson, Northwestern University; "Highly readable.... The term 'wide open spaces' takes on new meaning in Nelson's book....A marvelous job of presenting the lives of west river South Dakotans during times of extreme stress in a way that should touch all readers' emotions regardless of where they live." - Dorothy Schwieder, Iowa State University"
