Reviews

Janet Floyd brings us a delightful commentary on the conjunction between mining and literary writing during the second half of the nineteenth century.--The Journal of Arizona History Its brisk, readable prose and compelling excerpts offer an engaging read from cover to cover. Most provocatively, Claims and Speculations also makes a case for dethroning realism and naturalism as the favored literary expressions of an industrializing, international economy in the late nineteenth century.--Journal of American Studies
