    Working on a Jack Johnson book. I have obtained most of what is out there, but there are still a few of Johnson's early fights that I haven't pinned down. These are listed in various books and records, either dates and locations unknown, unreported, or incorrect. In particular:

    John Lee
    Bob Thompson
    Howard Pollar
    Jack or George Lawlor - I've seen records that say it took place in Galveston, but I also have seen some things that suggest it might have taken place in either Hot Springs, Arkansas, or Memphis, Tennessee.
    Bob White
    Horace Miles

    If possible, I want to find the correct dates and locations so I can obtain a local primary source. I have checked some dates and locations that have been listed in various records, but they have been incorrect.

    Any help would be much appreciated.

    Thanks,
    Adam Pollack
