Review

"With great thoroughness (Diane North) has documented a journal which more than anything else reflects the frustrations of an ambitious entrepreneur whose hopes were never realized."—Journal of American History"Diane M. T. North has done a fine job of setting forth and editing his journal, showing him as a real person at his daily tasks in a field with which he was awesomely unfamiliar."—The Western Historical Quarterly
