Not G.K. Chesterton Ping!
Is it because he was an apologist?
An apologist can also be an intellectual.
I’m confused.

I would guess “not Chesterton” because he was “not American.” Just a thought ...

I’m glad you pinged me — in American history. Would that be why G. K. is not here?

Thanks for the ping. As others have said, Chesterton was not an American. Also, how much of his great work was done before becoming Catholic?

I think the reference was to those in “American” history. Otherwise, we’d have Hillaire Belloc as well.

Is it because he was an apologist? I gather Chesterton didn't make the top-ten list because he wasn't an American.
He was not only a great apologist, but a great intellectual (IMHO) — a British one.
