Thanks, Jerry. Is this the one? I cannot get the image quality as good as the one in the book. I am curious about the scar. I have read he had a scar over his eye due to an 1828 fight. Offhand I cannot think of the reason for a scar below the lip.

Roger,
Yes, that is the one. There are a few early face-on photos, none of which show the face as clearly. The later photos of course include the beard, covering up the detail of his face. I am curious about the scar too, as I don't recall its being referenced in any of the books I have read. Does anyone else know?
Thanks for posting this excellent picture Roger!
