Getting Underway
In the photo of the B&O artists' group on the cowcatcher (https://www.mdhistory.org/industrial-art-the-1858-artists-excursion-over-the-bo-railroad/) who do you think is Strother? You can zoom way in to get a closeup. My money is on the man, front, second from left. The hat looks right.
I'm looking for Strother's trademark big, bushy beard. The guy standing to the right of the smokestack with two dudes behind him fits the bill for me, but I can't be sure.
Maybe this was pre-beard?
I suppose he could have shaved but he definitely was a beard guy before this excursion in 1858.
