"[A] valuable contribution to American Jewish historiography."

—American Jewish Archives

"The volume is scholarly. It is gracefully written. Its tone is objective, its foundation, solid in research."

—The Colorado Magazine

"Of all the Jewish histories dealing with various regions of the United States this reviewer has ever read, none has the charm and readability of this first history of the Jews in Colorado."

—JWB Circle
