The direct link to Malcolm Macmillan's 2008 article in The Psychologist, "Phineas Gage: Unravelling the Myth" (last item listed above) is here .
As a researcher on Gage for many years, I can also recommend (no kidding) the Wikipedia article, which includes the full-size portrait. (Its owners have authorized its use e.g. for teaching without any permissions being obtained, though they ask that the image be attributed where used -- click on the portrait to learn more.)
