Gary,
Thanks, I was not aware of that article, but the book he is talking about is one of the better books about early baseball called Old Boston Boys and the Games They Played. There are several edition from a limited edition in 1906 and later ones to 1908. The book is by James d’wolf Lovett, pitcher for the famous Lowell teams of the 1860’s. The baseball section is illustrated by several beautiful photos of the Lowell and Harvard teams, and a few of the individual players, including a great one of George Wright from early in his career. Well worth finding.
The 1867 and 1868 Harvard teams are in there, and I believe your Lowell team, but we are spoiled and prefer originals.
