- ↑ Review of the collection in the Lakeside Monthly, June 1870: "They are all scenes from what it is common in cities to denominate "low life" ... "Miggles" and "Tennessee's Partner" are pictures of affection – the one of the purity of woman's love, the other of the devotion of man's friendship – and both illustrated by the grotesque characters of this low life of which we have spoken."

We think it probable that ... a man only could relish the rude pathos of Tennessee's partner"
- ↑ Review of the collection in Blackwood's Edinburgh Magazine, Oct. 1871: "None of the other short stories in the volume are equal to "Roaring Camp," though "Tennessee's Partner," the "Man of no Account," and the "Idyll of Red Gulch," are all very striking, and show the writer's power of bringing out true human nature, tenderness, and moral beauty out of the saddest wrecks and fragments of humanity. We cannot refrain from quoting an unsuccessful attempt on the part of Tennessee's partner to rescue his principal from the hands of Judge Lynch, who had caught and convicted him of aggravated highway robbery, and was about to hang the culprit. ..."
