Reviews
'The book's emphasis on idiolect as individual's gradual and operational language variation through accumulative ways of meaning making within specific social cultural contexts, both provides readers with a convenient theoretical tool for forensic transcription, authentication and discourse analysis, and helps readers realize the complexity of forensic communication that necessitates the dialectical integration of different perspectives, paradigms, tools and approaches. [...] The book will be a useful resource for a variety of readers, including both researchers and practitioners who are interested in the theory and practice of forensic communication.'Renhua Wang, Nanjing Institute of Technology, ChinaDiscourse Studies 20/5 (2008)
A vivid and detailed account of life in the westward sweep between 1776 and 1890. --The Los Angeles Times With the book's sophisticated concepts of organization and approach, its rewarding details, and its vivid and imaginative writing, it supersedes other social histories of the frontier. --The Journal of Southern History This is clearly a labor of love by the author, and the respect and admiration he has for his subject is infectious in creating for the reader a small part of the thrill felt by the actual pioneer in going West. --The Journal of American History Bartlett has an excellent eye and pen for the rich human diversity that made up the westward movement....His book charts the story in a way which recapture the thrill without exaggeration or sentimentality. It combines scholarship with imagination, the prose of the West with its poetry. --The Economist
