E8  {1951} Kenney, p 13 (may have been the original source of one incorrect attribution
          – the correct artist of the Henry Clay Medal was Thomas Dow Jones, q.v.).
E17 {1983} Pessolano-Filos, p 60 (stated the date of the Edwin Forrest Medal as 1902,
          impossible as this artist died in 1900).
"There has been no scholar better qualified to create 'the American Forrer' than Dick Johnson."
