Reception
In a contemporary review for The New York Times, critic A. H. Weiler wrote: "[T]his saga of strife in the Black Hills of the Dakota Territory is what any dime-novel reader might expect. ... This, however, can be said for the adventure. It has about as much conflict as could be wished."[1]
