Baldwin, Carly. "From Slave to Stage Star: "Blind Tom" Wiggins at the Hoboken Museum", The Star-Ledger, November 28, 2007. Accessed February 6, 2013. "This Saturday, December 1, at 4 p.m., the Hoboken Historical Museum welcomes scholar and musician John Davis back to Hoboken for a talk and to play recordings of the music of the 1850s pianist and music savant 'Blind Tom' Wiggins, who retired in Hoboken at the end of his career."
Quote from an anonymous May 1894 review of Tom, cited by the Willa Cather Bibliography as "AMUSEMENTS [review of Blind Tom, Negro pianist]. (1) Nebraska State Journal, 18 May 1894, p. 6. (2) Prairie Schooner 38 (1964):343‑344". Southall (Blind Tom, the Black Pianist-composer (1849-1908): Continually Enslaved) quotes the unsigned review, attributing it to Cather, with the footnote justifying the attribution as follows: "According to a Miss Bullock, a fellow student at the university, the unsigned article was by the writer...Willa Cather: A Bibliography (Lincoln: University of Nebraska Press, 1982), p. 261"
