    “Nequa is a surprisingly enjoyable salutary tale.”                        
                                            John Clute. The Encyclopedia of Science Fiction

"........parallels American history in a broad sense, but a great change
 came during a moral revolution in which selfishness was abandoned."
                                                      Science Fiction: The Early Years
                                                      Everett F. Bleiler and Richard Bleiler

 "Though fairly typical of other terra cava narratives concerned with
 exploration, spiritualism, and utopianism, there are a few unique features,
 not the least of which is a female narrator."

"One of the most elusive American hollow earth books. “                                                                                                                     Lloyd Currey

    “A few of the male writers also questioned their culture's
prevailing gender ideology in the pages of the Utopian Novels.
The most obvious example is Alcanoan O. Grigsby, whose 1900
novel NEQUA, describes a world where both sexes are equal after
women put an end to war and demanded freedom from domin-
ation of man-made laws.”  
                              --From the forward of ”Unveiling a Parallel”  by
                              Carol A. Kolmerten,  Prof. of English at Hood College

As I said five very knowledgeable persons have allowed me use their quotes. The quotes are from other published sources. Remember they are commenting on a book which has been speculated about for years, only available as a printed book in a dozen libraries. One of the people I quote said that they had to read NEQUA on microfilm. He said it “was very wearying”. Well I read a lot of  newspapers on microfilm and they just flat put me to sleep. It would be a horrible way to read a book like NEQUA.

    The statements in bold print are quotes from me.
