I am pretty sure that the earthquake was in Oaxaca, the birthplace of Benito Juarez, the guy who invited the folks from New Virginia Colony to leave Mexico. According to a painting by Manet, they let Maximilian keep his hat on.Hearing of the earthquake in Mexico yesterday & not knowing where the epicenter might be, brought back thoughts of the New Virginia Colony founded by Commodore Matthew Fontaine Maury at the end of the Civil War. Maury was a long-time friend of Emperor Maximilian & was given a land grant for the colony between Mexico City & Veracruz. Price, Shelby, General Edmund Kirby Smith, Major General John B. Magruder, Major General Thomas C. Hindman, Major Alexander W. Terrell, & a couple thousand of their men chose to settle in the colony rather than surrender.
Michael Roach was so young when he enlisted with CSA Major General Sterling Price at the beginning of the war. Price used Roach as a messenger carrying communications between Brigadier General Joseph O. "JO" Shelby, Major Samuel S. Hildebrandt, Quantrill, Gordon, Marchbank, etc. By late 1864 & Price's Raid thru Arkansas, Missouri & Kansas, Roach was listed as a Private. At wars end Michael Roach chose to surrender rather than go to Mexico to the New Virginia Colony.
Not much is known about his life after that.
7.4 magnitude but minimal structural damage or deaths last I read?I am pretty sure that the earthquake was in Oaxaca, the birthplace of Benito Juarez, the guy who invited the folks from New Virginia Colony to leave Mexico. According to a painting by Manet, they let Maximilian keep his hat on.

Circa 1900 or so.....trimmed cabinet card. I hate when people do this.....often removes the photographers information as it did here.....
Unusual with such an up-sweep of the brim at this time.....looks like a 1980's hat!

I wonder if he always wore his hat so far back on his head or it that was just for the photo? It doesn’t look like it would stay on well.
Oh, I don't know...the right hat placed just right on the head...I wonder if he always wore his hat so far back on his head or it that was just for the photo? It doesn’t look like it would stay on well.
That black one sure looks sharp! Is that your Hampton?Oh, I don't know...the right hat placed just right on the head...
Granted, he favored wider brims and the moment he stepped out of the plane the wind would likely blow that hat right off, but it is possible.
Yes Sir, it is. If it were up to me the crown on the Hampton would be 1/2" to 1" taller and more straight-sided like the Fed IV, but anyone looking for a nice Fedora with a 2" brim could do far worse.That black one sure looks sharp! Is that your Hampton?
