LAST PROUD GALLOP

Last Proud Gallop is very well written. the characters are so well developed that they don't often have to be identified in dialogue exchanges.

- -John Goodspeed,The Star Democrat

This is an uneven but appealing novel, with some fine phrasing and thought provoking observations on the Jazz Age, particularly about how class affects democracy and why The Lost Generation squandered its idealism with such mad abandon.

- Joan Baum, The Independent Traveler Watchman

Although long gone, the hazy era rewakens in Sweeney's narrative with dynamic and dimensional characters with strong, timeless voices.

- Julia Nasser, Dan's Travels
