LEGENDS OF AMERICA

Raves - What Our Readers & Customers Say

In doing some research on the Old West, your website was one of the search results. All of the other search results proved to be disappointing and I thought this would be another disappointment. However, I could not have been more wrong!! From the first moment of being on the website, I instantly bookmarked it as one of my favorites. It is very addicting. Just this past weekend, I probably read for three to four hours the history of the Old West. I never considered myself to be historically minded, however I find that I need the knowledge your site provides. I have always loved the Old West and, until coming to your website, could not find enough information to satisfy my love for the Old West. Your site is astonishing and very user friendly. For all you have done, saying "Thank you" doesn't seem to be adequate. But I must attempt it nonetheless. From the pictures to the inner links to the history you take great strides in procuring, Thank you so much for the hard work you put into your site. You make sure that history and nostalgia is not and will not get lost. Thank you. -- Denise, from Pennsylvania, currently living in Missouri, July, 2008

What I find most amazing is not just the scope and size of your site, but the fact that it really is very well done. I don't know of any other place on the web that contains so much GOOD information on the West. - Kerby Jackson, Oregon, June, 2008

Great Site! Incredibly important to preserve our American historical landmarks, whether they be buildings, roads, bridges, what have you. Would be nice to see the entire Route 66 "refurbished" rather than the old remaining sections simply preserved. - Steve, Hawaii, March, 2008

What an interesting site this is, I was only looking for one thing but got carried away, I have now been using your links for over four hours and don't want to give in yet.

I just wanted to thank you for your knowledge on your website. I surf the net a lot and have never came across a site that inspired me and made me think as much as yours did. A flood of thoughts washed through my mind and heart as I marveled at the the brilliance of the Native American Peoples, so closely connected to everything but not imposing. So wise that their wisdom applies to present and future. I have always had a very high degree of respect for the Native way but I was so impressed by your site! If only our leaders of today could learn from what is freely given! Thank you so much for the time and thoughts placed into sharing what you know with the World. - Loren Coney
