And seeing as though one issue people seem to have is the age of the person I identified as Niebuhr, I debated with myself for a long time whether it could be Harry Wright. He was with the Knickerbockers from 1857-1863, ages 22-28, about 30 years younger than everyone else in this photo. There are a lot of pictures of him as an older man, but not a lot from this era. I am attaching a comparison with his picture from the 1859 Knickerbocker photo (using the photo from the left side of my stereoview). It's a pretty good match. But I ended up thinking that it's not him because it doesn't seem to match as well against pictures of older Harry. But after the discussion about his brother George and seeing how different he looks in various eras, maybe some of you will think that he's a better fit.
