barrysloateThe fact that Birdsall was referred to as The Old Man in two articles also weakens my argument significantly.
However, the images I have of Hanigan are extremely close, and likewise the fact the the Leslie's engraving used this photo is irrefutable. So if it is Birdsall, Leslie's got it wrong, something we never knew.
So we make a new discovery one way or the other.
