In a letter to Mr. Bryant, Governor Henry A. Swift, of Minnesota,
says:
"Your position was such that you could not fail fully to understand
the thrilling events of which your history treats; and those who know
you will not doubt your ability to array the facts in your possession
in such a manner as to give the reader a truthful and highly
interesting account of the times of which you are writing."
Hon. Peter G. Washington says:
"The narratives are of thrilling interest; and, given as they are,
either in the handwriting or directly from the lips of those who,
miraculously escaping the perils of the tomahawk, the rifle, and
starvation, both saw and suffered, from the incidents they relate,
bear throughout the unmistakable impress of truth, and must carry
conviction to the mind of every reader."
