| As part of our professional training as historians, our mentors commonly admonish us not to review books based on how we would have written them. Fair enough, but in the case of Colin G. Calloway's new book, I have a bit of difficulty with such distance. A decade or so ago, I was one of the historians whom Richard Etulain, the general editor of this excellent new series on the West from the University of Nebraska Press, approached about authoring this particular volume. Seeing it in print is a bit like encountering the girl you didn't marry at a high school reunion, and realizing how well she's done on someone else's arm. |
