Praise for Robert Morgan:
Robert Morgan's lyric mountain language is equal to the epic sweep of history, to the grandeur of the land itself.
— Lee Smith. . .
Morgan writes "with an authority usually associated with the great novelist of the last century."
— The Boston Book Review. . .
In Morgan's hands... details become the stuff of stern, gripping drama.
— The New York Times. . .
