[A] great adventure story.-- ""Booklist (starred review)"" [A]n amiably discursive, often beguiling entry in what has become a venerable literary form: the expedition in pursuit of an expedition. Roberts knows his Southwestern history, and he knows how to craft an artful sentence.--Philip Connors ""New York Times Book Review"" A luminous work of exploration, both personal and historical, written by one of my very favorite writers of the American Southwest. This is a piercingly beautiful and eloquent book.--Douglas Preston, #1 New York Times best-selling author of The Lost City of the Monkey God and Cities of Gold Superbly written, Escalante's Dream is a multidirectional literary and historical exploration of the unknown American Southwest, transporting the reader through exhilarating discovery shadowed by mortality.--Bruce Berger ""Wall Street Journal""
