"Last night I read the section in your book on Sago, and I was blown away.
Your research and knowledge of the corporate history
of the mine, the community, the men, is incredible...like a four-part series in
the New York Times.
The content is riveting I could not put it DOWN! You have amassed a huge
amount of information and relate it in a way naturally
leads the read from one part to the other. WOW!
