“Miss Debo's study is calm and restrained; she scorns the writers who have told melodramatic tales of poor Indians and whites and their didoes when overwhelmed by sudden riches.... Within its self-imposed limitations, it is an honest and knowing book, written with a great affection. The best part of it, somehow, is the brief, reminiscences of a few old-timers, little flashes which tell more than many pages of description.”– New York Herald Tribune Book Review
