Indeed, when one considers the chronological and topical range of Foners many books and essays not to mention those of his doctoral students only Hofstadter, C. Vann Woodward, David Brion Davis, and, in an earlier era, Charles Beard who was also at Columbia would seem to be his genuine rivals in impact and accomplishment.
