EXTRACTS FROM A FEW OF THE REVIEWS
AMERICAN HISTORICAL REVIEW: "The books are handsomely bound and printed. The editing by Dr. Thwaites seems to have been done with his customary care and knowledge. There is no want of helpful annotations. The books therefore are likely to be of more real value than the early prints from which they are taken."
THE OUTLOOK: "Dr. Thwaites is the best possible editor who could have been chosen for such a task."
"The student of society, as well as the historian, can profit by the perusal of these travels;... they present, as is nowhere else so well presented, the picture of society in the making in the American back country."—Frederick J. Turner in the Dial.
THE NATION: "Thoroughly interesting, as well as historically valuable."
