They are also to be congratulated for working quickly to publish their findings. --Gregory A. Waselkov, coeditor of Forging Southeastern Identities: Social Archaeology, Ethnohistory, and Folklore of the Mississippian to Early Historic South


"""It is a fascinating case study of a daunting maritime research project that successfully used all the latest archaeological, historical, and scientific tools to find an important part of America's past."" --American Archaeology ""The importance of the Clotilda wreck is immense; we are all fortunate that such a talented professional team could be assembled quickly to protect it and begin its study. They are also to be congratulated for working quickly to publish their findings."" --Gregory A. Waselkov, coeditor of Forging Southeastern Identities: Social Archaeology, Ethnohistory, and Folklore of the Mississippian to Early Historic South ""The authors have created a wonderfully engaging book that, while telling the story of the vessel's rediscovery and identification with great precision, brilliantly conveys the drama and intrigue of this schooner's dark story."" --Sea History ""[Clotilda] concentrates a wealth of information, presenting the story in a well-organized, highly readable, and clearly written narrative that informs on many levels--history, archaeological research, and deep meaning for the community closely connected with the historical events. It is a masterful work bringing to light one of the final episodes in a base and reprehensible part of our past."" --MAHSNews"
