From Library Journal Who says the West isn't wild any more? This duo by Guthrie follow on the boot heels of two recent Max Brand reprints (Classic Returns， 10/15/95)， perhaps triggering a resurgence of interest in the genre. LJ's reviewer found Fair Land， a sequel to Guthrie's Big Sky and The Way West， "not only an authentic portrayal of the Old West but also a good novel with full-bodied characters and a spare， though picturesque， style" (LJ 9/1/82). The Thousand Hills， however， was deemed "far below the author's usual high standard" (LJ 11/15/56). A hit and a miss.Copyright 1995 Reed Business Information， Inc. --This text refers to the Paperback edition. Review "A.B. Guthrie， Jr. has long been regarded as perhaps America's premiere Western historical novelist. Mr. Guthrie was one of the first to depict Western characters not as stock figures in shoot-'em-ups but as believable human beings struggling with historical forces." --This text refers to the Paperback edition.
