A 1980 reprinting was published by the Texas A&M University Press. [1] In 2005 the university made the book's 10th printing. [2]
Weems had interviewed people who had experienced the events and used other sources from the era. [1]
Dean R. Larson of Purdue University Calumet (now Purdue University Northwest) stated that the imagery is "so alive with detail that this reader needed a self reminder that the book is not fiction". [2]
Ralph A. Wooster of Lamar University stated that the research was "skillful". [1]
