With contributions from lots of folks including topgun, Researcher, JDW, and esp. Dr Bill Hambidge and Jim Steubbendieck, we added a FAQ section to the LCSCA site http://www.lcsmith.org/faq/faqhome.html
I'm working on 'What ever happened to W.H. Baker?' and have Researcher's Baker history posts, but I gave my Walt's Ithaca book to a buddy and need some help. Baker and Leroy Smith (LC's brother) went to Ithaca, N.Y. and established the Ithaca Gun Co. in 1883. How long was Baker in Ithaca before he returned to Syracuse and joined his brother Dr. Ellis Baker at Syracuse Forging Co.?

My research indicated early 1887. Baker died 10/10/89.
ps, buy another copy. "A certain percentage of book profits MIGHT be donated to help LeRoy's little cousin, LCS."

Thanks Walt!
