Review

"Yup," Amos Cummings's 1873 travelogue confirms Marshal Matt Dillion's frequently voiced mantra... "And that was [indeed]the West." --Wild West Magazine

"...a cheerful, insightful, hard-to-beat portrait of fast-changing America"--Foreward Magazine

"An enjoyable book, full of humorous and engaging anecdotes and tales....provides an interesting glimpse into eastern perceptions of western lifestyles during the late nineteenth century"--Utah Hisotrical Quarterly

"Take a pinch of Mark Twain, add a dash of Studs Terkel, and you'll have the recipe for Amos Jay Cummings westward-ho dispatches for the New York Sun... This collection brims with anecdotes about the American originals who settled West farmers, gamblers, townsfolk, scoundrels, Native-Americans, prospectors, gunslingers, and Mormons brought to life by one sharp newspaper man." --Foreword

"This remarkable book provides a rare, intimate look at the American West as it was evolving during the years immediately following the Civil War. " --The Tucson Citizen

"A fun, engaging read for anybody interested in the Old West. Thanks to Milanich's desire to share these dispatches and his appreciation of Cummings's literary and lilnguistic value, a forgotten journalist can absorb an audience again." --Newwest.net
