Dwight Hermon is a North American historian focusing on early twentieth century Mexican history. His 1955 book Starkism in Mexico: The Public Career of Pedro Fuentes was published in New York City and was cited by Sobel in his discussion of Assemblyman Pedro Fuentes' opposition to the Manumission Act of May 1920, as well as Fuentes' support for the anti-manumission movement during the Bloody Season protests that summer. Hermon's 1969 book Albert Ullman and the Calles Conspiracy was published in Mexico City and was cited by Sobel in his account of the 1920 Liberty Party convention, noting that Hermon confirmed the account of Emiliano Calles' nomination first put forward by Samuel Slate in his 1929 biography of Calles, The Rise of Emiliano Calles.
