Editorial Reviews

“The Life and Adventures of Nat Love is a tale of three lives—a slave boy, a cowboy, and a porter—woven together by the kind of hyperbole that any lover of good storytelling ought to appreciate. In both content and effect it is a quintessential American tale.”—Brackette F. Williams
