Henry Green's historical significance

Additional details: he is entirely forgotten today.

Claims about Green’s significance are contemporary, and they appear in a 1904 interview he gave to the Courant and in his obituaries, in particular the obituary that appeared in the American Journal of Roentgenology. Today, there are numerous claims as to who did what first, and none of these claims include anything done by Green. Here, I won’t examine present claims; rather, I will look at the contemporary claims made about Green and how they stand up in the contemporary record.
