[A] remarkable blend of history and biography. There's a Ken Burns or Willa Cather-like feel of both intimacy and sweep to the storytelling, and a touch of the heroic. When I finished reading, I felt not only as though I knew these women (and was inspired by them) but that I had a deeper understanding of American history. -- Susan Neville, author of Fabrication: Essays on Making Things Julia Bennett sure did 'burn the breeze' as she rode at full speed through a long life...[Hendrickson] vividly portrays the ups and downs of a remarkable woman, sprinkled with a dash of scandal. -- James H. Madison, professor emeritus of history at Indiana University Only enormously gifted women could have won the contest between financial disaster and hard-earned success. This book is a wonderful read. You won't be saddle sore, but you will be thrilled by the ride. -- Pierce C. Mullen, professor emeritus of history at Montana State University
