Nomenclature
Edward Singleton; American astronomer (1846-1914). He prepared the (Lick) Observatory Atlas of the Moon which was mailed to subscribers as individual sheets were obtained.
Note:
Holden is also the name of one of the small craterlets on the Taurus-Littrow Valley, aka the landingsite of Apollo 17's LM Challenger. Holden (crater) - "J. D. Salinger's Holden Caulfield is representative of the characterizations of a post-World War II generation by which their creators forced an introspective look at ourselves and an understanding look at those around us. In varying degrees, these authors have influenced that generation's present search for a bridge between the past and the future." (source: APOLLO LUNAR SURFACE JOURNAL, Eric M. Jones).
