I am kind of flummoxed because James Oliver Horton was a renowned U.S. historian. As another internet site notes, "James Oliver Horton was the Benjamin Banneker Professor of American Studies and History at George Washington University and Historian Emeritus of the Smithsonian Institution’s National Museum of American History. From 2004 to 2005 Horton served as the President of the Organization of American Historians, and previously worked as the Senior Advisor on Historical Interpretation and Public Education for the Director of the National Park Service." If the site I pointed to -- the American Historical Association, the professional organization for historians in the U.S. -- is not considered a 'reliable source' by wikipedia, surely someone at Wikipedia could spend a minute or two looking for the many, many other sites, not to mention the substantial number of print publications, that write about the importance of Horton's work.
