A LOS ANGELES TIMES BEST NONFICTION BOOK OF THE YEAR "Like the best
nonfiction writers of our time (Jon Krakauer and Bruce Chatwin come
to mind), Stillman's prose is inviting, her voice authoritative and
her vision imaginative and impressively broad."--Los Angeles Times
"A fascinating narrative with all the grace and power embodied in
the wild horses that once populated the Western range by the
hundreds of thousands . . . [A] magnificently told saga."- -
Albuquerque Journal "Powerful... Stillman's talent as a writer
makes this impossible [to stop reading], to the mustang's benefit."
-- Orion "A circumspect writer passionate about her purpose can
produce a significant gift for readers. Stillman's wonderful
chronicle of America's mustangs is an excellent example."--Seattle
Times "Brisk, smart, thorough, and surprising."--Atlantic Monthly
"Stillman's work is a must-read, a must-know, and a call to action
for all those who hope to save the American mustang."--The
Equestrian News "Rich imagery is a hallmark of Mustang... More
important, though, is the chronicle provided, for the days of the
wild mustang are fleeting as the West becomes increasingly
urbanized and as some humans become less, in a word,
humane."--National Parks Traveler
"Told with passion and skill, filled with drama and dust and
fascinating facts, Mustang is a worthy addition to the literature
of the horse."--Ian Frazier "Deanne Stillman has given horse lovers
a remarkable book--Tony Hillerman "In Mustang, Deanne Stillman has
written a classic in equine literature" -William Nack, author of
Secretariat "Mustang unflinchingly chronicles the tragic journey
that the noble horse has endured ...A passionate, compelling,
ultimately heart-rending book."--Samantha Dunn "Deanne Stillman's
writing, research and inspiration in the creation of Mustang is
stunning."--Michael Blake, author of Dances with Wolves "It's been
said that the history of this nation was written from the back of a
horse. But not until now...has that history come to epic
life."--John Fusco "Stillman has accomplished what might seem
impossible: rendering the horse's wild and indomitable nature while
testifying to its...relationship to humans." -Deena Metzger
"Extraordinary . . . a true American tragedy. [Stillman] tells the
infuriating but inspiring story of the destruction and survival of
a noble icon perfectly -- you'll never forget it." - Penthouse "A
stampeding, crusading history of horses in America during the last
half-millennium . . . a spirited defense of the wild horse, as well
as a rousing, sweeping account of the horse from the arrival of the
conquistadors, who would not have been able to subdue North America
without it . . . a well-written, welcome work of history and
advocacy." Kirkus Reviews "Mustangs, an iconic element of the
American West, receive their due in this history of the horses of
the New World . . . the controversy over these tough little horses
has not abated, and Stillman brings their story to the present and
the continued political maneuvering around the mustang question."
Booklist, ALA "Rich imagery is a hallmark of 'Mustang'. . . More
important, though, is the chronicle provided, for the days of the
wild mustang are fleeting." - National Parks Traveler "A powerfully
written, very moving book. " - Electric Politics "A stunner and a
heartbreaker." - NPR's "On Point" --
