Show us their hats!

[Hurricane Jack]

In honor of Thomas "Stonewall" Jackson's birthday today, January 21, 1824. It's hard to find photographs of Jackson wearing any headgear other than a Kepi but there is this photograph as a younger man. No beard, so young, blue uniform, doesn't appear to have the missing fingertip yet, this photograph was probably taken around the time of the Mexican-American War 1846-1848.

That embroidered hat is something else. But I like the last one best.

He had his own Wild West show touring out of Oklahoma. That's probably when he wore the embroidered hat.

Love the old milk can hanging up with the place for nipples around it.

That is sweet. Have you seen the documentary "Unbranded"? That's where I first learned of him.

No, don't think so. I'll check online for it, YouTube maybe?

I like his hats on him but those shovel fronts don't work for me.

PS on edit: just checked YouTube & it has several listings for the full movie. I'll enjoy watching that. Thanks for the tip!

I think you"ll enjoy it. Can't do the shovel either.

Greg, you might like to watch this. Sad day in our history. The actual site where this happened is now under a parking lot.

Appreciate that, Jack. I'll be watching it.

Watched it last night & really enjoyed it. What an adventure that must have been & one each of those young men will remember for their lifetime, whether they remain friends or not! 159-160 days. I even got a little misty eyed when Val talked about his son & when he left the boys. Val's hat I liked best was the gray/brown open crown; really looked good on him.

Glad you enjoyed it and the same thing happened to me with Val. I've read some on the wild horse population and the dilemma created between them and the ranchers using the rangeland and the costs associated with the round ups and maintaining the horses in long term holding facilities and I couldn't begin to answer how to address those problems. Adoption is not working and a 20% annual growth rate wouldn't be sustainable, even if it wasn't shared land.

Watching 38 Feathers and enjoying it. Thanks!

Ralph Foster and friend. He was a radio pioneer here in Springfield, MO.

Radio pioneers...KOAC radio at Oregon Agricultural College was the 2nd station at a Land Grant College west of the Mississippi in 1923. Here we have an intrepid reporter interviewing a cow! Did I say we are an Ag school? Great hat included.

What's the cows opinion on all these cattle mutilations? Aliens or the military?

Sterling Hayden wore some great hats, and wore them well in my opinion:

Happens to the best of us ...

I won't show this to my wife. She prefers to think of him as he was in "Thunder Heart".
