In a review of O'Dell's masterpiece, Dorman stated "Comprehensive studies such as this appear only rarely. This volume should be in every Virginia genealogical collection."<ref>John Frederick Dorman, "Review of ''Pioneers of Old Frederick County, Virginia,''" in ''The Virginia Genealogist,'' Vol. 39, No. 3 (Jul.-Sep. 1995):236. Prof. Warren Hofstra relied heavily on O'Dell's conclusions to write his award-winning history of the Shenandoah Valley, see: Warren R. Hofstra, ''The Planting of New Virginia: Settlement and Landscape in the Shenandoah Valley'' (Baltimore, Md.: Johns Hopkins University Press, 2004).</ref> What was so unique? He attempted to trace the origins of every early settler of Frederick County.
