Most of these letters deal with personal adjustments to the Spartan lifestyle, with glimpses into the problems and mores of the colony." -- Church History
"A fascinating addition to any bookshelf of Kentucky history. Now that Pleasant Hill has been restored, it can add much insight and pleasure to a visit there." -- Ashland Independent
"Stephen J. Stein, a professor of religious studies at Indiana University, supplies a helpful introduction, notes and appendixes that reveal a harrowing family context of suicide, poor health and early death." -- New York Times
