Nathaniel Comes Alive
By A3SFLCIFZF6XEJ on 2008-10-08
Lawrence Reno's book about the life and times of Nathaniel Hale Pryor is an important book. It does what it says--tells about the life AND TIMES surrounding this enigmatic Lewis and Clark Expedition figure.
The book is well-written, well illustrated, and well documented. As an amateur historian of people and events of this early 1800's period, and a writer also (whose mother's maiden name was Pryor), I can appreciate how well Reno has completed his mission. He has tackled difficult questions and answered them well and responsibly. I suspect this is due to the disciplines of Reno's legal training.
It is a fun book and not a dry history for those who are interested in this period. I do not completely agree with all of Reno's conclusions but I see they are well-founded and I respect Reno for his depth of research.
