Controlled Recklessness is well told, well documented, well indexed, and well worth reading. -Montana The Magazine of Western History An impressive work of seminal scholarship that is exceptionally well written, organized and presented, Controlled Recklessness: Ed Lemmon and the Open Range is the latest addition to the outstanding South Dakota Biography Series from the South Dakota State Historical Society Press. An extraordinary and inherently fascinating read from beginning to end, Controlled Recklessness is very highly recommended for personal reading lists, as well as community, and academic library American Biography reference collections. -Midwest Book Review Nathan Sanderson has written a fresh, thoughtful biography of South Dakota's Ed Lemmon. A truly multidimensional plainsman, Lemmon was a town founder, an open-range rancher, and a driver of more cattle to market than anyone else. Indeed, Ed Lemmon is to the northern plains as Charlie Goodnight is to the southern plains. Just a fine book! -John Wunder, professor emeritus of history and former director of the Center for Great Plains Studies at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln Ed Lemmon epitomized the rough-and-ready spirit that built today's cowboy culture.
