The Argonaut (San Francisco): "We doubt if any other writer gives us so composite and convincing a picture of that curious mixture of soldier and civilian that makes up Indian society. She shows us the life of the country from many standpoints, giving us the idea of a storehouse of experience so well stocked that incidents can be selected with a fastidious and dainty care."
London Morning Post: "Vigor of characterization accompanied by an admirable terseness and simplicity of expression."
Literary World: "Undoubtedly some of the finest novels that Indian life has produced."
London Telegraph: "Some sincere pictures of Indian life which are as real and convincing as any which have entered into the pages of fiction."
The Chicago Tribune: "The characterization is excellent and her presentation of frontier life and of social conditions produces a strong impression of truth."
Boston Evening Transcript: "Knows absolutely the life that she depicts. Her characters are excellently portrayed."
Chicago Record Herald: "Well told; the humanization good and the Indian atmosphere, always dramatic, is effectively depicted. Holds the attention without a break."
Toronto Mail: "Real imagination, force, and power. Rudyard Kipling and imitators have shown us the sordid side of this social life. It remains for Mrs. Diver to depict tender-hearted men and brave, true women. Her work is illuminated by flashes of spiritual insight that one longs to hold in memory."
