Praise for Throne of Grace and Bob Drury and Tom Clavin: "Jedediah Smith might be one of the most important, and one of the most overlooked, 19th century explorers in our nation's history. Authors Clavin and Drury . are correcting that oversight." -- Los Angeles Times on Throne of Grace "Drury and Clavin are currently one of the most successful popular history-writing duos in Western publishing, and their biography of Jedediah Smith will leave you amazed at the courage of Smith and his fellow mountain men." -- True West "A lively account of the remarkable life of one of the men who led the U.S. into the vast West." -- Kirkus (starred review) on Throne of Grace "Drury and Clavin bring adventure and danger to life in this excellent narrative history of a largely forgotten chapter in the American story.


" -- Booklist on Throne of Grace "With its muscular prose and expert storytelling, The Last Hill deserves to stand beside Stephen Ambrose's Band of Brothers as one of the truly epic--and intimate--accounts of American heroism and sacrifice in World War II. " -- Wall Street Journal "In this exhaustive history . Drury and Clavin pack the narrative with biographical details about the Rangers and skillfully toggle between battle scenes and big-picture analysis. WWII buffs will savor this deep dive." -- Publishers Weekly on The Last Hill "Bob Drury and Tom Clavin, challenge conventional wisdom about an American origin story and, in the process, weave a tale fit for the big screen." -- Washington Free Beacon on Blood and Treasure "Bob Drury and Tom Clavin together have given us a half-dozen elegantly written narratives of exhilarating episodes in American history. [ Blood and Treasure ] may be the authors' finest work to date. Redolent of time and place, a raw and rugged tale.


" -- Wall Street Journal.
