The book helps gain a better understanding of the evolving concepts of imperialism, which were at the heart of Italian Fascism, and thus shows that travel writing can offer an important contribution to historical analysis.

Burdett's detailed accounts of Carson's legendary exploits as a hunter and guide capture the essence of the frontier spirit, making this book a must-read for history enthusiasts and fans of adventure literature.
