Reviews
"""The correct attribution, identification, sequencing, and site location of the original sketches are significant accomplishments in themselves and Shlaer's photographs are works of fine--even phenomenal--documentary art."" --Ben W. Huseman, cartographic archivist, University of Texas Arlington Special Collections ""Shlaer's work provides historians access to a body of sketches previously unknown. It represents a significant contribution to the history of exploration in the West and highlights one of the expeditions that has not received much attention."" --Ephriam D. Dickson III, deputy chief, Field Museums Branch, U.S. Army Center of Military History"
