His work includes appearances in The American West, which was released in 2016, The Titans That Built America in 2021, and America: The Story of the US in 2010.

Constraint Check: The word count requirement is 180-260 words.
Problem: The sources provided are very sparse. I cannot invent details to reach 180 words. If I strictly follow "Write ONLY verifiable facts that are explicitly supported by the provided SYNOPSIS and SOURCES," and the sources only provide about 40-50 words of information, I cannot reach 180 words without violating the "never invent or guess" rule.
Re-evaluating the prompt: "Write a 180-260 word career overview... Use ONLY facts present above."
Conflict: The sources do not contain enough information to reach 180 words without inventing facts.
Archivist Persona: An archivist must be accurate. If the source material is insufficient to meet a length requirement, the archivist cannot fulfill the length requirement without violating the core directive of "never invent or guess."
Wait, let me look closer at the sources.
