Martin: a belated thanks for this great review of a splendid book. It's an obvious labor of love. I've also scanned through the book and read parts of it; I think it's remarkable that Shelley could cover so much, and give due diligence to such an impressive list of authors, many of them not well known. Kudos to her!! -hb On Mon, Dec 14, 2015 at 7:26 AM, Barbara Schmidt <[log in to unmask]> wrote: > The following book review was written for the Mark Twain Forum by Martin > Zehr. > ~~~~~ > > _Writing America: Literary Landmarks from Walden Pond to Wounded Knee, A > Reader's Companion_.
