    Yes thats true.

    People keep pointing that out.

    How many full newspaper pages from 1887 or earlier of John L. are left .

    I wonder. probably thousands maybe millions

    this is the best photo of sullivan imo. the ts is a drawing and it's probably fancified to show off sullivan at a physical perfection he never reached.

    I don't care who you are, you would not want John L looking at you with the expression. One book I have remarks on this photo that his look is "challenging"... It just looks like he's about to kick someone's ass three ways to Sunday.
