| "David Finch deserves our gratitude as he opens our eyes to a broad canvas of the man Bruce Hutchison described as 'a mixture of thoreau and Jack London.'" Publisher Gray Campbell. "Finch shares with his readers the essence of Patterson that he gleaned during a decade of research and writing." Canoe writer Verne Huser. "Patterson wanted 'a place in history' and now he has it." Bob Shiels, High River Times book reviewer. "David Finch is to be congratulated for doing an immense amount of research to bring forth the story of an interesting man. His style is quite readable and through there is a huge amount of information, it is easily digested." Canoeing magazine Che-mun, Packet #102, Fall, 2000 "The biography is the essential compliment to Patterson's own books as it recreates the man and details the influences that motivated him." Outdoor writer, Larry Meyers. "Historical author David Finch of Calgary has captured the romance and adventure R. M. Patterson found in this country after he left England in the 1920s." Neil Etienne, Cochrane Times, Alberta. "Finch presents us with the unlikely portrait of the Oxford University graduate who, on a lark, came to Canada in 1924 and decided to stay. Patterson would go on to make a name for himself not only as a writer, but as an explorer, rancher and fur trapper." Charles Mandel, Calgary Herald.
