“Taking as his motif the poet Sam Foss’s words, “Bring me men to match my mountains,” Irving Stone has created an interwoven pageant of stories of the great westward drive which, in a few rousing decades, settled a continent and gave the United States dimensions of which its founders hardly dreamed.  Exploration, sudden wealth, unspeakable hardship, the golden chance to build a new life in a new land – all these are present in this saga of human aspiration.”
