　　"A grandly conceived attempt to employ the newest techniques of
historical research (notably computerized demographic analysis) to
achieve an old purpose: the recovery of a people's mentality from
beneath the layers of myth and received opinion that have obscured
it....[Votagers To The West] is conceived on an epic scale and
executed with heroic determination." 
　　—— Andrew Delbanco, New Republic 
　　"Voyagers To The West is a superb book.... Bailyn joins the
imagination and organizing skills of a master scholar to powerful
stylistic gifts....It should be equally admired by and equally as
attractive to the general reader as to the professional
historian." 
　　—— R. C. Simmons, Journal of American Studies 
　　"[Bailyn's] concern --his passion -- is to make the emigrants and
their experiences live once more.... His fusions-- of the general
and the particular, of the abstract and the concrete, of thought
and feeling —— are the ideal of modern historical writing." 
　　—— Review
