《学校图书馆杂志》(School Library Journal)书评
Gr 6-9-Farmers and Ranchers covers the period of westward migration from 1840-1870, describing the hardships these settlers faced as they tried to scratch a living from the harsh and hostile land. Those who provided necessary spiritual and intellectual enlightenment to the frontier, the Preachers and Teachers, are shown to have played an equally important role. In Miners, Merchants, and Maids, the people who ``...made pioneer life a little more comfortable'' are highlighted. The women who cleaned, cooked, and sewed; the miners who provided the materials for coins and heat for houses; the merchants who sold food and dry goods-all were crucial to the settling of the West. First-hand accounts from journals, letters, etc.; black-and-white and full-color reproductions; and interesting, little-known facts make these well-documented series entries vivid and exciting.-Julie Halverstadt, Douglas Public Library District, Castle Rock, CO (c) Copyright 2010.

Kirkus评论
An outstanding and readable introduction to the social history of westward migration and homesteading in the US in the 1840--70s. The text of this entry in the Settling the West series is a compilation of perspicaciously selected excerpts from the diaries and letters of settlers, mainly women, stitched into a continuous narrative. It begins with the preparations for the journey, follows the migrants across the plains and over the mountains, then describes the process of homesteading in all its facets. Since most of the information in the book comes from documents of an intimate nature, plenty of attention is paid to the life of the spirit, leaving readers with a vivid impression of the psychology of the settler. Apart from punctuating the narrative here and there with historical road signs, Harvey remains in the background; he supplies introductions and transitions, but allows the sources to speak for themselves, and ""politically correct"" editorializing is minimal. Accompanied by full-color and black-and-white photographs and illustrations, a coherent, balanced picture of the homesteader. Copyright ©Kirkus Reviews, used with permission.
