Courage attracted considerable attention during its three-year life. When the pilot issue came out, the New York Times' Wallace Turner discussed Richard Howard's challenge to the Book of Abraham. The second issue elicited another story in the Times on the liberal RLDS challenge to some traditional beliefs, as reflected particularly in Wayne Ham's article, and Howard Booth's article on the personality of Joseph Smith. Some other newspapers, especially in the Independence area, occasionally commented on Courage, and Dialogue carried favorable reviews by Robert Flanders and James Clayton.
Although Courage struck a responsive chord in quite a few hearts, its readers did not support it to the extent the editors had expected. Appealing only to a minority in a small church, and without either sufficient subscribers or a financial "angel," Courage died after its eleventh number (Winter/Spring 1973). Its eleven issues are still available upon request, and many libraries with significant Mormon collections have a complete set.
