Always nice to hear about the Old Leather Man. The Jules Bourglay story was retracted days after it was published in 1889 and has been debunked by many researchers. It’s a good story, but it is fictional.

Really? I hadn’t heard that. Thank you for the heads-up. Do you have a source for one of these researchers? I’d love to read it.
