Review

"Fascinating history with a resonance that far exceeds the experience of the Black Mountaineers themselves."—Newsweek

"Reading the book, it is hard to imagine how it might have been done more intelligently."—Catharine R. Stimpson, The Nation

"[Black Mountain] leaps beyond the discipline of history in its significance . . . Henceforth debates about the relation between historian and sources will have to take account of this radically new model for doing history."—Jesse Lemisch, New York Times Book Review
