- "Phyllis's work has been essential in framing and informing the debate for policymakers and citizens on wilderness and conservation issues in Maine for nearly thirty years. It is hard to imagine where North Wood issues in Maine would be without her work. She is as much a part of the landscape here as a lynx or a remote mountain lake." —Will Sugg, Maine Environmental Policy Institute
- ""It is a gem. You have done a brilliant job and have given us a human perspective on wilderness management like no other." —Dean Bennett, writer and friend of Baxter State Park
- "Phyllis Austin, a veteran Maine reporter, who probably has attended more Baxter State Park Authority meetings than anyone outside the part staff, tells the story of Buzz's rise and 'fall' in this fascinating new book...she sheds new light on hundreds of park decisions, and the continuing battle to keep the park wild. It should be must reading for anyone concerned with the future of Governor Baxter's dream—especially all future Baxter State Park Trustees." —Wilderness Matters (Maine AMC Newsletter)
- "...you have to respect Austin's dedication, just as you have to respect Baxter's vision or Caverly's devotion. For those who live Baxter State Park, every detail matters, and the contagious obsession that preserved this special part of Maine is truly magnificent." —Down East Magazine
