Cresswell studies the work of U.S. attorneys and marshals in two southern states and two western territories: northern Mississippi, eastern Tennessee, Utah, and Arizona [where] both regions became the object of increased federal efforts to impose national norms against local folkways.... The result is an informative book that ably reconstructs an important chapter in the history of each locale, as well of a nation-state hell-bent on change. - Journal of American History
