For three of the photos, I found other known images of the players and simply compared facial features. For Barrows, it was mostly a process of elimination, as we have well-known images of all the other Boston Red Stockings from 1871 and 1872 except for Barrows. Additionally, his background as a member of the Tri-Mountains and the similarity to the player seen on the sheet music pointed to the two individuals being one and the same.Tom Shieberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06064785129807399476noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6055358841733153770.post-87778906673031080722015-03-04T13:32:52.677-05:002015-03-04T13:32:52.677-05:00No clues as to the methodology of your sleuthing? ...No clues as to the methodology of your sleuthing? You normally do such a thorough job at explaining how you figured out whatever it is that you've figured out. Did you just look at these four photos and immediately know their names?Justin Petersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04890192920449986206noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6055358841733153770.post-34452261982224939312015-03-04T11:54:59.733-05:002015-03-04T11:54:59.733-05:00Fantastic work, Tom!
