註釋-Thompson's book provides not only a powerfully written history of a Mexican American who symbolizes 'resistance to oppression and intolerance, ' but also a clear, cogent explanation of the relationship between the United States and Mexico as they face each other across the Texas border.---Journal of American History

-Jerry Thompson has produced the definitive work on one of the most controversial and influential Mexicano/Tejano figures of Texas and Southwestern history . . . . With stunning clarity and balance, Thompson has provided a much-needed narrative interpretation that brings to life one of the more colorful figures of Texas, Border, and Chicano histories.---Hispanic Outlook

-Jerry Thompson has performed a difficult feat: comprehensively examining a life that had almost as many turns as a circle.---Journal of Southern History

-This is the most well-researched and thorough account of Juan Nepomuceno Cortina's life that we have. . . . This book certainly shows that Cortina 'established his niche in the grand sweep of time, ' but it will be left to other scholars to follow the many trails hinted at by Thompson.---Western Historical Quarterly

-Jerry Thompson's sympathetic but balanced biography is a 'must read' for all students of Texas history and Anglo-Hispanic relations.---East Texas Historical Journal
