About the Authors

Everett Dick, a renowned scholar of the American frontier, was Research Professor of American History, Union College, Lincoln, Nebraska.

John D. W. Guice, Professor of History, University of Southern Mississippi, and author of the Foreword, says of Everett Dick's The Dixie Frontier, that "persons interested in the American heritage should read it because it is a 'people' book-one about the daily lives of Southern men, women, and children who pushed into the lands beyond the Appalachian Mountains."
