"A western story set in a small town in Nebraska on 'the rim of the prairie.' The characters include a tantalizing heroine made more attractive by a hint of mystery, a steadfast hero, and two delightful pioneers."-Cleveland Open Shelf
"Very well written. Mrs. Aldrich realizes real, living figures."-Literary Review
"Exciting and realistic. A wholesome story without being sentimental or cloying."-Boston Transcript
"An understanding presentation of small town life with a pioneer background. Good for any library."-Wilson Library Journal
