“I just had to write and let you know how much I enjoyed ‘On the Trail.’ …I began looking for accounts of this area as it used to be. Yours seems to have captured the essence of that elusive pioneer spirit in describing the fascinating people and their relationship with the land and animals. Thank you for taking the time to preserve the lively history of your family. I’m sure it will be enjoyed by other future ‘strangers.’ “

“I checked your book out of the library on Tuesday and finished reading it last night (Friday). It truly was a book that you just couldn’t put down.’ I must say that I enjoyed every page and every picture. A friend of mine wrote me a letter suggesting that I read the book. I wrote her a letter of gratitude.”
