No other collection compares with the essays gathered in this volume. Many of them will surprise readers with the fresh interpretations they provide of lesser-known writers and artists. Others add new dimensions to figures with already well-established reputations, such as John Steinbeck and Carey McWilliams. --William G. Robbins, co-author of Nature's Northwest: The North Pacific Slope in the Twentieth Century

The contributors' insights ring true to the long tradition of radical political action and vision in the American West. --William Deverell, author of Whitewashed Adobe: The Rise of Los Angeles and the Remaking of Its Mexican Past
