Well, congratulations to Tom for a job well done.<br />
<br />
At 532 pages, I have not finished the book, but I am slowly assimilating the material. I like history and the best examples come from well written sources (such as this book). Despite the impression a student may get in intermediate or high school, history is never a clearly defined subject. As the research covers recorded events from 150 (plus) years ago, this book shows the difficulty in understanding written material. For those not familiar…

At 532 pages, I have not finished the book, but I am slowly assimilating the material. I like history and the best examples come from well written sources (such as this book). Despite the impression a student may get in intermediate or high school, history is never a clearly defined subject. As the research covers recorded events from 150 (plus) years ago, this book shows the difficulty in understanding written material. For those not familiar with contradicting information, the 1867 events of James White should be an eye opener.<br />
<br />
In using the term assimilate instead of reading, the information in this book is melded (confused) in my mind with recent readings about AZ history, CA history, the Santa Fe Trail, and writings about the prehistoric natives of the area. With time, the events described in different books begins to show some connection. It is great as that happens.<br />
<br />
In addition to this book, my Grand Canyon related bookshelf accumulated about a dozen books in the last view months.<br />
<br />
Let the learning begin.<br />

Thanks again to Tom and all the people who supported his effort to get this book in print as well as numerous related ones he published.
