Summary

Reception

Lords of the Earth received mixed reception. Loh's AP colleague John Barbour praised Loh's "vivid and gentle ... understanding of the Navajo".[1] Editha L. Watson in The Navajo Times likewise praised Loh for his sensitivity toward the Navajo people and his storytelling ability.[2] The historian William H. Lyon, by contrast, called the book superficial in its analysis and criticized it for its disorganized, sometimes off-topic historical narrative and lack of citations.[3]
