The Henderson book is considered a bible of early baseball literature, and David cites it as among his most important source materials. Henderson in fact compiled one of the largest collections of early baseball books, and it currently resides in NYC. A couple of years ago David and I went to see it together (it's tough getting an appointment) and it was really impressive. I don't think anyone had viewed it in years; the curator kept blowing dust off each copy we asked to see, and that's no exaggeration.
