Ambitiously tying East to West, The Making of Yosemite is among the more significant of recent books examining the overlapping histories of the American West and the Civil War. . . .[the] powerful merit of this book is Huntley's suggestive finding that the object of Hutching's eye and mind, if not western nature writ large, might be redemptive and rejuvenating in the processes of post-Civil War national healing. -- Pacific Historical Review
