"It is a novel with 'body,' with a large and timely idea back of it,
with sound principles under it, and with a good crescendo of dramatic
thrills."--_Chicago Record-Herald_.
"To the reader the characters will appear as real as friends they
know--all of their aims, and likes, and hatreds being portrayed as true
to life as snapshots caught by moving-picture cameras."--_Boston Globe_.
"The characters take the reader with them wherever they go, and they are
characters that seem to have temporarily stepped from real life into the
pages of the book."--_Pittsburg Chronicle-Telegraph_.
"The romance of the novel is told in a very charming love story which
has 'Barbara Worth' for its inspiration. With her winning the author has
deftly interwoven an epic of national reclamation work and present-day
good business."--_Richmond Times-Dispatch_.
"With a vividness that assumes reality Mr. Wright shows how capital may
be used to gain its end and at the same time save the community and
still be 'good business'."--_Omaha Bee_.
"'The Calling of Dan Matthews' was a fine tale; 'The Shepherd of the
Hills' was an inspiration. And now he sends us 'The Winning of Barbara
Worth'--the best thing he has done so far * * * a twentieth century
epic."--_Cleveland Plain Dealer_.
