Identification of Booth's body

[L Verge]

Over the years, we have had to deal with doubting Thomases who question exactly where that tattoo was on Booth - hand or arm. By today's standards, we want to be specific, but our ancestors were not that concerned with pinpointing exact locations of scars, birthmarks, tattoos, and other identifying marks on the human body when giving a general description.

I believe that the experts in the field go with a description (perhaps by Asia) of it being between the thumb and forefinger; but not low around the "web" portion, more towards the wrist where the hand was firmer and where it was easier for a young boy to successfully guide his hand into carving his initials.

Mr. Griffith - If you are going to continue to spout the same questionable comments over and over even after others are contributing documentable and/or reasonable answers, why are we keeping this going?
