Finding Clarence

[@debbiegipson4512]

Well that was quite entertaining. I always equate research to the 'throwing a pebble in a pond' theory. Each new ripple brings knowledge which flows into the next and so on, and so on.

These vignettes of "micro histories" are fascinating. I particularly appreciate how you tie these personal profiles into the larger historical context.

Great story!

I enjoy Civil War photography but, as a retired military intelligence analyst, I enjoy research even more. Yours is first rate and reminds us that grunt work will get you only so far and then you have to do some networking.

Crazy story. Did you ever find the picture of Mary Todd Lincoln?

[@lifeonthecivilwarresearchtrail]

I could not find any likeness of here that matches the image Eytinge is tinting. The search continues!

Ron gave British polymath's name as James Ruskin. His name was John Ruskin. James was John Ruskin's father who was decidedly not a polymath.

Apologies. Thanks for catching my error.

[@jamesorth6460]

maybe the picture that he is working on might be his wife?

[@davide9658]

Interesting sleuth work Ron. I think you did a video on Rose Eytinge just a couple days ago. Coincidence? Not to change the subject, but I couldn't help but notice your subject, Clarence, has an uncanny resemblance to Ukrainian dictator Volodymr Zelensky.
