[ Frontier Militaiman ] surveys ... the actions of untrained men who formed militia forces worthy of historical mention. - California Bookwatch, November 2008

""Ed Gilbert has done a grand job of telling the story of these often forgotten men...Add to it contemporary illustrations with the artwork of Adam Hook, and you have a superlative book on a subject that I found particularly fascinating. I'm positive you will feel the same way once you read this so put the grabs on this title when you come across it at your local shop. You'll find it to be a major myth-buster."" --Scott Van Aken, www.modelingmadness.com (April 2009) ""[Frontier Militaiman] surveys ... the actions of untrained men who formed militia forces worthy of historical mention."" --California Bookwatch (November 2008)
