"Thomas D. Clark was a special person. His memoir is a very special work. It tells a story filled with humor, insight, and remembrance. It brings a smile to the face; it causes us to think; it honors a life well lived. We should feel fortunate that Tom Clark was able to give us one last gift, one last treat, one last history" -- James C. Klotter, State Historian of Kentucky
"This is Tom Clark at his best: clear, engaging, insightful, and witty. Anyone interested in the emergence of the profession of history over the last century should read this book." -- John Hope Franklin, James B. Duke Professor of History Emeritus
"Clark's story, told with the wit and charm for which he is internationally known, is an educational and enjoyable read that reminds the reader how Clark not only recorded and taught history, but lived an extraordinary part of it." -- Chevy Chaser
"Clark's story is one of a kind, not only in longevity but in his determination to teach and preserve the lessons of history. His is also the story of 20th century America" -- Kentucky Monthly
"Clark writes with the discipline and precision of a longtime academic, describing his journeys throughout the state in search of obscure records and his methodical collection of and organization of what he found.... A fitting capstone for Clark's lifetime of contributions to the region." -- Lexington Herald-Leader
"This life story is edifying and provocative.... Combines charm and grit, much as did the life of the gentleman who wrote the pages." -- Louisville Courier-Journal
"Filled with anecdotes, humor, and history as only he could relay it.... A pure joy." -- Louisville Voice-Tribune
"Tells the story of an American century through the experiences of one of the nation's preeminent historians." -- Enterprise (Manchester, Kentucky)
"This memoir is the best book I have red in the past ten years, perhaps more. For one thing, it is beautifully written. Any student or teacher wishing to see what tight prose can be should read it for that point alone. Here is evidence of a disciplined mind, nothing less -- not a word out of place, no stranded sentences." -- Indiana Magazine of History
"With is characteristic wit and insight, Clark now offers his many admirers one final volume of history -- his own." -- The Paintsville Herald
