One of America's youngest newsboys. 4 years old and regular
seller. Tampa, Florida, March 1913, Lewis Hine.
I contacted Penny Carnathan of the Tampa Tribune,
who contacted historian Gary Mormino, who then contributed a story about my search, which included the above photo. Some
followup research by Penny, Gary, another Tampa historian, Paul Camp, and me, has identified this boy as Tony
Valenti. I have since interviewed two of his sons. See Penny's and Gary's subsequent story in the Tribune at the link
below.
