James Potter Historian - Nebraska State Historical Society:

"It is a remarkable achievement. You have managed to enhance the map with much additional information about western emigrant trails and related historic sites, but it remains easy to read and understand. The draftsmanship is superb, and the map is certainly of display quality. Anyone interested in the history of western migration should have a copy."

Fred Dykes Pocatello, ID - a very knowledgeable and experienced trailman:

"The 1999 Edition of the Western Emigrant Trails Map is the most accurate and complete depiction of western emigrant trails available at the present time."

Rose Ann Tompkins Chandler, AZ - a noted trail expert in the southwest:

"The 1999 Editon of the Map is 'great.'"

Randy Brown Douglas, WY - Wyoming´s renowned trail expert:

"The 1999 Edition of the Map is terrific. The detail exhibited is unsurpassed. It clearly demonstrates the great amount of research and field work that went into its preparation. And the enhanced Wyoming inset is an outstanding portrayal of the entire Greenwood/Sublette Cutoff area. I unqualifiedly recommend it to everyone."

Weldon Rau Olympia, WA - a trail expert in the northwest and author:

"I am greatly impressed with its completeness and the amount of research it represents. ... I am very pleased that the (Cowlitz Route and the Naches Pass Trail) ... have been included as they are particularly meaningful to those concerned with the early emigration to the Puget Sound Region. You have done a great job ... congratulations on producing a very useful and accurate map."
