Hello,

I've found a piece of sheet music titled 'Going From De Cotton Fields' in the Levy collection, the composer is Thomas Paine Westendorf (1848-1923). On the title page of that piece the name Thos. P. Westendorf is mentioned, but on the first page of the sheet music the name Pierre Latour is mentioned. I couldn't find anything about Pierre Latour. Can I assume based on this piece of sheet music that Pierre Latour is the pseudonym of Thomas Paine Westendorf?

thanks in advance,
Choul

It's a pretty good assumption, as pseudonyms were very common in the era.
