Written reading complete; images, native preservation, presentation and primary corroboration pending.
Source argument
The article presents competing Manhattan origin accounts, early printed recipes and later named variations.
Evidence map
Lines 1–3: caption ratio 2:1 differs from the 50:20 infobox (2.5:1). Lines 14–18: Jennie Jerome/Manhattan Club legend, Black's alternative, Paul and Byron (1884), Schmidt (1891), the 1930 Tennessee Cocktail name and Prohibition Canadian-whisky claim. Lines 20–39: Föhr migration account and individual variants. All 28 reference entries read; cited originals not read through those entries.
Locators: LINK-200 numbered extraction, revision 1371818253. No direct quotations promoted.
Researcher synthesis
Distinguish a drink name, a recipe family and an authenticated invention. Disproving the Jerome story would not establish Black's account. Tennessee Cocktail is a historical recipe title, not proof of Tennessee whiskey as its base. Variants illustrate adaptations, not one universal specification.
Assessment
Ratios differ; origin stories need corroboration; Prohibition availability claim weak; photos unreviewed. Check the Jerome chronology; primary recipe scans; Canadian whisky predominance during Prohibition; Black Manhattan's claimed 2005 Bourbon & Branch chronology; and Fourth Regiment dash quantities. Keep Föhr and institutional-role statements attributed and dated.

Preservation reconciliation — September 8, 2026
The original HTML snapshot is now included in the native Wikipedia-Captures-173-218.zip package on No access. Earlier preservation-pending language is superseded for that HTML only. Local original hashes and ZIP integrity were checked; native attachment presence was refetched. Remote images/assets were not bundled and a new cloud-byte comparison was not performed. Written-source reading does not establish that every cited work or illustration was reviewed. Other source-specific holds remain unchanged.
