Reviews

"[This book] is not a typical biography...Weber historicizes Hanson's actions as part of a much larger economic and political shift...this tale of one man's life ill-lived should interest modern readers because of its echoes through the present.-- ""Texas Observer"" (7/26/2024 12:00:00 AM)"
