What sticks in my mind about O'Connor and Page is their objectivity, modesty, and accuracy of observation.

Many other writers of their time were of such advanced ego and dedication to special interests that their writing was more like a Ned Buntline dime novel. Chas Askins sticks in my mind since he published article after article about his pet "wildcat rifle" projects, each of which was "so vastly superior to ordinary cartridges as to render them all instantly obsolete."
