 REVIEWERS SAY

“Rick Steber has given us a fine example of how fiction can tell the grim facts of history in a highly readable novel. Buy the Chief a Cadillac is one of those books which should be added to the reading lists of students of American history.” (Tony Hillerman)

“Steber's words remind you of Hemingway or Fitzgerald....” (LA Times)

“Rick Steber captures beautifully the mood of the times and of the sturdy people who lived it.” (St. Louis Post-Dispatch)
