Utah Historial Quartery"Campbell gives us glimpses into real western history that is just beyond the fence line north of the highway or just three miles down a dusty back road, and he brings it to life so that we may all participate." --
The Chronicles of Oklahoma"A trained archaeologist and a gifted photographer, Campbell masterfully observes the materials the homesteaders left behind." --
