Um, who told you that this was Hugh Joseph Ward? ‘Cause when I just now looked at it, the crystal ball clearly said, “Delos Palmer,” yet it’s tagged Ward. I have looked at it and tried, as hard as I can, to see Ward like the tag says, but all I see is Palmer, Palmer, Palmer. So it’s most DEFINITELY Palmer and not Ward. I will bet my whole farm, plus my siblings’s farms that whoever told you this is Ward can’t show a signature of Ward anywhere on this cover. And please don’t tell me David Saunders said it’s Ward, ’cause if so, I’m gonna hafta call the guy up and have me a little talk with him about it, and also about that other Palmer/not/Soare cover…

The best that I can do to back up my claim that this is a Delos Palmer cover is this link:
