Title: Formidable amount of historical research here!
Review: Now, July, 1999, I've just read this "Great Alone." While the personal relationship stories are told well enough (but not unusual in style) the historical research necessary to have covered this long historical period, with unusual details, has impressed me greatly. I lived in two of the towns that figure in the book during the late 1940s, had done considerable reading about these areas, but learned a lot that I hadn't known. I always trust "my" authors to have done their homework (or have someone do it for them), and Ms.Dailey has certainly won my admiration for background material
