Hoffecker, a University of Delaware professor: "[weslager's] greatest contribution was in chronicling the early colonization of Delaware and interaction between colonists and the Native Americans. It is remarkable that a person whose career was really in the business world developed such a level of expertise in both history and archaeology so that his work was regarded as of the quality of a professional person in either field.".
