"[Ramsey's] history is...something more and better than the ordinary compilations...It is a mass of minute narrative material relating to the Indians, the border wars, and the principal pioneers, moulded into a consecutive and regular story...his work is almost wholly original, and contains a vast amount of aboriginal history never before printed" - Field.
