Industry Reviews
"[A]n erudite and absorbing tweak of the Great Exploration. Skirting the dangerous whirlpools of whimsy and preciousness, novelist and memoirist Mosher...spins a light-as-air western concoction."
Kirkus Reviews (04/01/2003)

"In six previous works of fiction, set primarily in a small pocket of Vermont's northern borderlands, Mosher has depicted the workaday realities of more recent times. But with The True Account he sallies into an imagined past, blithely borrowing elements from Tristram Shandy, Little Big Man, the Flashman chronicles and especially Don Quixote....[T]his cockeyed joyride through history is something of a triumph in its own right."
Washington Post Book World - Matt Schudel (06/08/2003)
