Anne Norton is clearly a boob (that happens to be the professional opinion of about a dozen scholars and professors who’ve written me). More to the point, here’s an account of Rossiter’s troubles from his son (note: it’s a PDF). It certainly doesn’t sound like Norton consulted Caleb Rossiter. It’s nice to know that in some areas, reporters are actually more reliable than “scholars,” because a reporter would have at least bothered to fact-check such stuff.
