The most trustworthy account of Zumalacarregui's Carlist campaign can be found in Juan Antonio de Zaratiegui's ''Vida y hechos de Don Tomás de Zumalacárregui''. Zaratiegui was his personal assistant, secretary and friend throughout the war, and also himself an important carlist military officer. Accounts of Zumalacárregui include ''The Most Striking Events of a Twelvemonth Campaign with Zumalacarregui in Navarre and the Basque Provinces'', by [[Charles Frederick Henningsen]] ([[London]], 1836) as well as a [[chapbook]] called "''Vida política y militar de Don Tomás Zumalacárregui''". Of Zumalacárregui, Henningsen writes:
{{blockquote|Now that Zumalacarregui's memory must descend, whatever be the issue of the contest, as an heir-loom to all classes of his countrymen, as long as the Spanish language endures, and that his name must be mingled in the songs of the peasantry with that of the [[El Cid|Cid]], it would be superfluous to say that he was no ordinary man; but, although, on the roll of those who have acquired a title to immortality, by the immense share he had in the early successes of the Royalist army, justice is scarcely done him. It is doubtless that it required the iron frame and indomitable spirit of the mountaineers he commanded, to battle so long against man, want, and the elements.|Charles Frederick Henningsen,''Twelve Months' Campaign with Zumalacárregui''<ref>Charles Frederick Henningsen, Twelve Months' Campaign with Zumalacárregui (E.L Carey & A. Hart, 1836), 6.</ref>}}

In 2017 the [[People's Party of the Basque Country]] called for a street named after him to be renamed.<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.irishtimes.com/news/world/europe/basque-street-names-fuel-debate-around-historical-memory-1.2976931|title=Basque street names fuel debate around historical memory|newspaper=[[The Irish Times]] }}</ref>
