"Etulain provides an excellent guide to the Basques in Western literature. . . . This is extremely helpful guide for scholars when one is considering projects referring to American Basques."-William C. Stack, Oregon Artswatch "Etulain's Basques of the American West has something for everyone. It will appeal to scholars of the West, Basque studies, literature studies, immigration and ethnic studies, and the undergraduate and graduate students they teach. The book is a significant and novel contribution to the literature on Basques in the American West." -John Bieter, professor of history, Basque history, Boise State University "This book is a relevant contribution to the literature on the Basques in the American West. Etulain's significant collection of essays will be useful to researchers in western American history and culture, and to general readers who are interested in the multicultural U.S. West and Basque topics." -David Rio, author of Robert Laxalt: The Voice of the Basques in American Literature and New Literary Portraits of the American West: Contemporary Nevada Fiction
