About This Item
'Bad Land is an uncommon book; uncommon in its conception and in its exquisite perceptiveness. It is the story of the last great migration of homesteaders to the barren plainsland of eastern Montana, and it is the story of their fate there. Raban is searching and compassionate, even mirthful, as captivated by his story as an African explorer. And he is at all times eloquent. His writer's zeal is the zeal of a convert to America, but his vision of those who wished to win the West but mostly lost it is unimpaired and true'.
Richard Ford
