Trade Review

""The book cost us some sleep, because we couldn't put it down unread."" - Dorothy CableThe Morgantown News Herald

""The book reconstructs, in a folksy and imaginative way, the story of the American party and their experiences under the greenwood trees of Sherwood Forest."" - R.A. Buchman Technology and Culture

""Much more than exciting cloak-and-dagger story of men at war, the book is a fine study in human adaptation…a book that is not only fascinating, but important: a chapter in history that needed to be told."" - Dan R. Chambers Tulsa Sunday World
