The Gentle Tamers Reviews

"The promise implicit in the title of this book is not broken. Mr. Brown has assembled a notable collection of women who took part in the migrations westward, mostly in the period of 1850-1880, and presents them, often with enthusiasm and always with sympathy. . . . I thoroughly enjoyed Mr. Brown's book."-Stewart Holbrook, New York Herald Tribune Books -- Stewart Holbrook * New York Herald Tribune Books *
"Underlying the book's fascinating comedy and pathos and terror, there is a sociological overtone. Mr. Brown shows that the reactions of these women to their frontier experience were as important as male reactions in the development of American mores and American democracy."-Marshall Sprague, New York Times Book Review -- Marshall Sprague * New York Times Book Review *
