Hiram M. Hook or was he known more by his initials? - Dumelow (talk) 08:16, 16 May 2020 (UTC)[reply

@Dumelow: Yes, the article should go by H. M. Hook. All sources I found, both contemporary and modern, refer to him as such. I actually almost gave up looking for his first name until I managed to find the one mention of it in a newspaper article. - Jon698 (talk) 10:30, 16 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the reply, good stuff - Dumelow (talk) 12:34, 16 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
