Dan K. Utley, formerly with Texas Historical Commission

“A self-proclaimed ‘rut nut’ prone to ground-truth his research, Gary L. Pinkerton brings his considerable historical and geoarchaeological skills to bear in his in-depth analysis of an often-overlooked early route to Texas.”

W.C. Jameson, Author of "The Lost Canyon of Gold"

“(TRUE BELIEVERS) is a compelling history artfully wrought by an excellent writer with an intimate connection to the land and the people.”

Carl Drexler, PhD, Review for Journal of Southern History

“I recommend (TRAMMEL’S TRACE) to historians interested in early-nineteenth-century Texas, Louisiana, Arkansas, the Southwest, or frontier history. Historians, sociologists, anthropologists, and archaeologists interested in frontier theory will also find it engaging. Though he covers a lot of ground, Pinkerton writes in a style that will maintain the interest of the nonspecialist.”

Bruce Elsom, Texas Heritage Magazine, Texas Historical Foundation

“. . .through research, countless presentations to local historical organizations, and one-on-one education of land owners, he has reconnected Trammel’s Trace and brought the historic pathway back into current consciousness.”
