"Texas reference librarian Mort compiles an ambitious work....Thousands of books and films are included and the appendices at the end are exhaustive, including a detailed historic time line."- VOYA, "Texas reference librarian Mort compiles an ambitious work….Thousands of books and films are included and the appendices at the end are exhaustive, including a detailed historic time line." - VOYA, " Read the High Country: A Guide to Western Books and Films is another useful readers advisory tool in the Genreflecting Advisory Series.

" - Colorado Association of Libraries, 'Read the High Country: A Guide to Western Books and Films is a no-nonsense book and film selection guide created especially for librarians and anyone else seeking to choose just the right cross-section of novels and movies from the Western genre. Describing approximately 2,000 titles grouped by subgenre and theme, Read the High Country includes the classics by such well-known authors as Max Brand, Louis L'Amour, Zane Grey, Elmer Kelton, as well as contemporary "novels of the West" by authors such as Ann Proulx, Louise Erdrich, and Larry McMurtry, and much more. Cover works aimed toward readers in grades 10 and up, Read the High Country is an intuitively organized, easy-to-use media selection guide.'-Midwest Book Review - Library Bookwatch, "For anyone not familiar with the Western, Read the High Country is a treasure trove, informing not only about the genre in books and film but also about the history of the American West. In fact, Mort includes in the appendix a "Western Time Line," from 28,000 BC to 1929 AD. One category in the "Traditional Westerns" section is "The Business of the West," revealing the importance of buffalo, railways, and mining to the commercial health of the America West. And, given the importance of the Native American in this time and place, the book is a great source for titles involving First Nations....With a conversational tone, Mort wonderfully succeeeds in guiding the readers' advisor to a much greater knowledge and understanding of the Western book and film.
