Reviewers noted that the book provided a detailed record of the troops’ movements in the campaign, and also described the political and racial aspects underlying reactions to the raid. The work was criticized for its lack of maps, including one reviewer’s assertion that many readers would be forced to use an atlas in following the narrative. It likewise was criticized for lacking a separate bibliography, and for its reading’s potential difficulty; still, the same reviewers also described the book as "well documented", and as useful to "serious students of the Civil War".
