Hanson is the Daddy of Hanson
Well written, well researched, well balanced
Immigration Rational
Expert?
What about the statistical aspect?
Compassionate critique
A Good Place to Start
Racist paranoia from bigot
Dispassionate, honest , and objective
A balanced look at a problem out of control
A book on this subject was long overdue
COMMON SENSE
Finally, a book that tells it like it is
But I already knew why I left California for good!
A truly awful book
Something needs to be said
Liberal Reviewers’ condescension
Heed the message, not the messenger
The fix is in:America to become another 3rd world slum
THE book on immigration
Not a simple book. Much honest food for thought.
The nation state and massive immigration
Hanson must think all Mexicans are illiterate…
Mexifornia
Man, the racism in this book & these reviews is frightening!
The best book about California of the past 20 years
Hansons’s Frank Mexifornia Tells some Harsh Truths
Must Reading for All Americans
Someone who sees it as it is!
A throwback to the attitudes of 80 years ago.
What I’ve been wanting to tell people!
Another Anti-Immigrant Diatribe.
Will California have 40 million or 70 milion in 50 years?
Mexifornia or mexiphobia?
Never an Alien in my own land
A book that seems to have found its audience
At last the plain truth!!
Please take the time to read this; it ought to scare the pants off you!
Persuasive…But Less Than Entirely
Scrutinizes the impact of massive illegal immigration
Arrogance and Hubris Abound
Speaking Fearlessly
A Scholar?s Personal Account of the Problems of Immigration
The Turn.
Outstanding book on complicated subject
At last an honest accounting of a frightening issue

AN AMERICAN SURVIVAL STORY…
You’ll Hunger For More!
Intriguing. . .
Would you…? Don’t answer lightly: pray for those who did
Six Star Material
Very good book, history written as a compelling story.
Cliched but true: “A harrowing tale”
An American Tragedy
The Shortcut That Led Them Into Hell
Heartbreaking tale of sorrow, starvation, cannibalism.
Ordeal by hunger filled me with dread
Timeless Story
Thrilling, Inspiring, and Educational
An epic tale of heroism and despair
Compelling story, gripping writing
Interesting
An exciting, if biased and highly romanticized account

What people say about Always Coming Home (California Fiction) (by Ursula K. Le Guin):
One of her best
Lyrical and Luminous
A Slow, Quiet, Rich Read
With apologies to Le Guin
Predicting, or observing?
It’s Hard to Know What I Think
Spiritual balm for a homesick Californian
So pleased it’s back in print!
Deserves a Much Wider Audience
A woman’s life-journey in a distant time, familiar place
Didactic Environmentalism
An Homage to Her Parents
Deeply insightful look at our culture via another culture.
An Archaeology of the Future
An Amazing Piece of Work!!
Synopsis of Always Coming Home, Utopia with feminist themes
Too Durkheimian for its own good; problematic as well
It’s the best!
It can take a lifetime to go thirty miles, and come back.

Mountain Meadows
Zane Grey Wrote Better Fiction
Breezy, Journalistic, and . . .
Its almost like trilogy……
Don’t be Led Astray by Other Reviewers
Bagley’s Blood of the Prophets a Better Investment
Read with Care
Hardly Overerstated & Its Well Done
Perhaps our finest author of true life.

Poor History!
A new look at one of America’s bloodiest massacres
35 pages of endnotes with sources
Justice for the Mountain Meadows victims
Well written, even handed, empathetic
