"Freeman offers an example of geographical art that involves elucidating the character of a piece of geographic territory through the careful exploration of the interaction between the physical environment and human societies that occupy or traverse this particular territory." Terry McGee, Department of Geography, University of British Columbia; "Freeman has done a superb job of bringing together secondary sources and some original material derived from local archives in the region." David Edgington, Department of Geography, University of British Columbia
