Reviews

A cheerful, fast-paced account of the rise and fall of Rossland as an active mining centre ... Roaring Days has the merit of being stimulating in approach, engagingly written, and presenting technical subjects in clear, understandable terms. -- Jean Barman * BCLA Reporter * So well-written that the complexities of the subject are clearly presented and, more imporantly, interconnected. The extensive use of annotated endnotes is the academic thread that binds this masterpiece together (a total of 600 citations in 49 pages). -- Ron Welwood * BC Historical News * Mouat's research is comprehensive and solid. Roaring Days is recommended to economic historians and institutions concerned with British Columbia and the United States Northwest. -- Otis E. Young * Pacific Historical Review *
