Joseph Andrew Orser teaches history at the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire.
Recounts Chang and Eng's precarious traversal with penetrating
insight.--New York Review of Books
Orser's well-crafted and meticulously researched account of the

cultural historians and will likely stand as the definitive
biography of Chang and Eng Bunker for years to come.--Journal of
the Early Republic

Chang and Eng.--WNC Magazine
Meticulously researched. . . . Orser is an expert on his
subject.--The Journal of Southern History
