Any opinions on the top people/places for graduate programs in 19th- early 20th century American art?

Margaretta Lovell and Darcy Grimaldo-Grigsby at UC Berkeley. May the odds be ever in your favour.

Jennifer Roberts, Harvard; Jenny Raab, Yale; Alex Nemerov, Stanford; Wendy Bellion, U. Delaware; Michael Leja, U. Penn; Susan Rather and Maurie McInnis, U. Texas; Jenny Greenhill, USC; Bruce Robertson, UCSB; Rebecca Zurier, Michigan; Jason Weems, UCR; Michael Lewis and Kevin Murphy, Williams; Rachael Delue, Princeton. 

Many of the programs have more than one person who does American, or have strong connections to American Studies programs. And, there are certainly other good Americanists around, including Lovell, but these are the schools that seem mentioned a lot on GradCafe.
