| PraiseNew York Times Book Review
"Even if, as Macy acknowledges, some of the facts of Oakley's life are obscured by the mythmaking ambitions of the Wild West promoters or by her own conflicting accounts, this is essentially an all-American success story capable of inspiring young readers." - Scott Veale 11/18/2001Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books
"Macy does a fine job of ferreting out as much solid information as can be gleaned from extant masses of press hype and Oakley's own biographical commentary that seems so obviously directed to her adoring fans; even available photographs, which grace every spread of the volume, are largely publicity releases." - Elizabeth Bush January 2002 |
