Reviews

Winner of Utah State History's Best Military History Award “A thoroughly satisfying look at this charged Utahn. Based on impressive research into a broad array of primary and secondary source materials, Madsen’s portrait of Connor emerges as distinctly balanced.”—Montana: The Magazine of Western History
“Madsen sketches a significant portrait of a heretofore marginally known personage in western history. Glory Hunter is recommended reading.” —New Mexico Historical Review
