Out of all these years of research and work in Nevada and other states with an important Basque presence came his book, in which he tells the process the Basque community in that part of the US went through to be as recognized as they are today.--About Basque Country

It is clearly the best published study of Basque herders and sheep-owning ranches in any western state. Other scholars interested in tracing Basque experiences in the American West will find this an emulative model for their work. Academics intrigued with the full scope of American ethnic experiences will encounter here the strongest monograph now available on the energetic Basques--in one state. Altogether, a valuable, rewarding study.--Journal of American Ethnic History Out of all these years of research and work in Nevada and other states with an important Basque presence came his book, in which he tells the process the Basque community in that part of the US went through to be as recognized as they are today.--About Basque Country
