Review:I have never found so many ideas explored in a book before. This book meanders like the river it celebrates, touching on everything from geography to personal narrative. It has wit and wisdom, tall tales and beautiful truths, stinging social commentary mixed with honest wonder at the changing times. All told in a voice as American as apple pie. I truly think Samuel Clemens cannot be rated highly enough in his capabilities as an observer, reporter, and bulls***ter. (I mean this in the most loving... Read more

Review:It is surprising that a book about which you already know the outcome can still be so intriguing, but Warnings Unheeded is extremely so. The book was well written, highly detailed and extremely thoroughly researched. He brings to life stories that I had read about in the past, but never felt from the victim's point of view.

Review:I have the Large Print paperback version. I want to clarify that in case anyone is considering purchase for easier reading for vision impaired (although this book is excellent for anyone).

Review:This is an extraordinary book in terms of the research involved and the excellent writing. McCullough makes excellent use of primary source material to set Theodore Roosevelt in the context of his family. One of my interests is in how leaders emerge from families, and this is the best book in terms of that I've ever read. I listened to it two in audio format, and then bought the book. My latest purchases of it were as gifts for others. Read more

Review:Book was very enjoyable. Had lots of twists and turns and at times was a bit hard to follow. The depictions of the villages and of the life in the past and now were amazing and I could actually see them. It was written very truthfully. I would recommend this to anyone who has a thirst for knowledge of the native american cultures and just to anyone who likes to read! Read more

Review:Great book! I love this author and have consistently read his fiction (with Lincoln Child) but his non-fiction is so well researched. I live in Arizona and I've never learned so much about this state and Southwest until I read this book. Highly recommended to everyone who loves history well written. Read more
