He did a great job.)

Twigg makes some very positive comments on my book. It

BC publication.)

-
"Interred With Their Bones"
(doc file)
Russell Morgan,
Canadian Railway Modeller, Canadian Book Reviews, p15.
(Reviewed in Canada's premier railway modeller's magazine, my
book has piqued the interest of railway buffs across the
country. Due to this review and some in other
publications, orders have been shipped as far afield as a
railway oriented book store in Montreal.)
SUMMER 2006
-
"Western and Cowboy Poetry at the Bar D
Ranch"
website. (doc file)
(This is the US top website for cowboy
poetry. The review detailing some of the cowboy poetry
discovered during my research and inserted in my book is the
first American recognition that I received. I was
thrilled to say the least. A quote notes that some of
the examples in my book reflect "...original
poetry in the style of Robert Service."
Shorty Dunn would have been proud.)

"Tracking the Notorious Miner"
John Mackie,
The Vancouver Sun newspaper, pages
C1 and C10 in the "Weekend Review."
Page 1.
Page 2.
(pdf files)
(John Mackie's article
is a review of Miner's antics in BC, references to my newly
published book, and also details recently discovered photos
and diaries of Miner, his gang and the Revelstoke CPR
Divisional Superintendent Thomas Kilpatrick. The Sun is
BC's most influential paper, and this review has been most
advantageous in gaining recognition and publicity.)

"Mission figures prominently in Miner
book"
Jason Roessle,
The Mission Record
newspaper.
(The town of Mission in
the Fraser Valley is very aware of its connections with Miner.
Jason's review reflects that interest.)

"Telling Tales of Billy Miner"
(pdf)
Lissa Millar,
Senior Connector newspaper.

was an excellent interviewer, and puts a great deal of effort
