Critics Review
“Using a deft touch and some sly humor, Bridger entertains his readers with a shrewd analysis of the underlying themes played out in the American West. The book’s title refers to the Trans-Missouri area “where Americans will always go to reinvent themselves- and America is about reinvention, if nothing else,” Bridger writes. “The heart and soul of the people live in this region.” -“Where Myths Are Made: Bobby Bridger;s New Book Showcases Reinvention,” by Carol Berry, December 8, 2011 of Indian Country Today.
