"Raptor Red is a wonderful book written by one of the top people today in the study of dinosaurs.  Bakker, from Casper Wyoming is a treasure to contemporary literature.  This book of fiction covers the life of  a utah raptor and is written from the perspective of the dinosaur....great fun and informative."

"Son of the Morning Star is one of the finest books written not only on Custer, but on the whole history of the Indians (as we called them..) and the early settlers and founders of this country.  This takes away the false images of much of our history of the era and replaces it with something closer to the truth.  This is a must read (forget the movie version...) for anyone with a desire to have a feeling for the reality and violence of the westward expansion of the europeans.  You will also kiss good bye a great deal of the myths of the peaceful Indian living in harmony with the land.  This was a murderous time in the west."
