- From the Colton Storm catalogue: "The tragedy with Marshall as with Sutter was that the consequences of his discovery were too much for him. Up to the moment of the find he had every prospect of becoming a substantial citizen in the new territory.... Certainly the account that this little book gives of his ensuing years may be interpreted to show a delusion of persecution. But if the wrongs were fancied, if it was only a broken mind that made Marshall feel he was being driven from his claims and hunted like one accursed, his tragedy is the greater.- G. Ezra Dane, in the 1935 reprint."
