In his work, "The Fifty Best Books on Texas," A.C. Greene lauds Richardson as "a historian I consider the equal of any in the Southwest," and commends the work for its depiction of the Comanche tribe and how they "became the scourge and terror of the plains, even as they were crushed to a remnant."
