Trade Review
"Benson gives us Clark, whole. He was a man's man, a brilliant, inexhaustible talker, a really good tennis player, a teacher who seemed to care more about his students than himself, a good father whose son Bob gave Benson access to materials very close to the heart, and a friend through thick and thin....Benson doesn't shy away from anything, and in the end you have to marvel at his subject, a man who genuinely stayed young, trying to approach the perfect." - Thomas Lyon, Western Historical Quarterly"
