Reviews
Reducing a complete and complex edition of a writer's extensive travel journal to an accessible size is both a formidable task and a necessary labor. Marsha Gallagher, editor of this abridgment, brings a deep knowledge of and long association with the journals of Prince Maximilian. Add to this her skill in scaling three hefty volumes to a manageable one, and we have the best of the prince's writing available for a wide audience. It's a landmark contribution to published travel journals of the American West. --Gary E. Moulton, editor of The Journals of the Lewis and Clark Expedition and The Definitive Journals of Lewis and Clark Now, for the first time, we have an authoritative concise edition of Prince Maximilian's firsthand descriptions of the land and the people of the upper Missouri River at a time of transition. --Ron Tyler, former director, Amon Carter Museum of American Art, Fort Worth, Texas
