LOL. Of course it's not true, if he was found frozen (and quite dead) in 1872, he couldn't have died in 1884 (unless he experienced time travel). Don't believe everything you read when it comes to
clothing descriptions. I have no reason to believe the story isn't by the author of
Dresden Codak. Would be cool if it were true, I'd join the local chapter of the
Historical Preenactment Society. --

Why is his name spelled "Sydney" rather than "Sidney"? I've not conducted an exhaustive check, but I have only ever seen his name as "Sidney", except here.
