I found my L.R. FITZGERALD! Following a lead in the BGMI, led me to him. He was quite successful in a worldy way, and was a co-partner in the publishing firm of Dick & Fitzgerald. It was located at 18 Ann Street in New York City -- just a walk away from the contemporary Barnum's American Museum. There is a whole chapter devoted to William Dick BRISBANE and Lawrence Rees FITZGERALD, both born about 1825-6 in Philadelphia. "Imprints on History," by Madeleine R. Stern, 1956 Indiana Univ Press.
