Show us their hats!

[Robieman]

I have a straw hat from the 101 but impossible to know if it was sold there as a souvenir or licensed later. I've posted the straw before. I have a barn lantern, a leather rifle scabbard & a tack or gear box from the 101. I have one pic on computer using the box as a table.

Now that's cool! Who would have thought anything from them would still be around.

I've collected Cody memorabilia for a long time, which morphed into Wild West Show memorabilia from Cody, Pawnee Bill, 101 & others.

Here's something I missed out on a few yrs ago, when it sold by private sale & not auction: a "trade stimulator" like a cigar store Indian, of William F. Cody. It has not been seen since going into a private collection so I don't know if it has been restored or left as found.

My dad second from right wearing a Western Fedora of some sort around 1950. They were riding a flatbed truck in a parade promoting the local rec parlor. I wish I knew where that hat was.

The detail on those are amazing. Sounds like you got some really interesting pieces.

Thank you Jeff. I did get his taste for hats. I wish I had the hat in the photo.

That would have been a wonderful addition to your collection.

I am still looking at these photos, and wondering, wouldn't it be cool to get a hold of a bunch of those hats!!

My thoughts exactly. LOL

The month of July marks the 155 anniversary of 4-5 Civil War skirmishes in my area fought over the occupation & control of small towns, two of which were important river ports, & 3-4 Southern newspapers which the Union wished to silence from publishing.

On July 7th, 1864 Confederate troops under the command of Colonel John Calhoun "Coon" Thornton & guerrilla forces including Frank & Jesse James under the command of Charles Fletcher "Fletch" Taylor marched into Parkville, MO receiving little resistance from troops of the 82nd Enrolled Missouri Militia (EMM) under Captain Thomas Wilson. Union soldiers had previously captured the town to control the river port for tactical reasons & occupied the Missouri Valley Hotel which became known during their occupation as the Paw Paw Fort. Killed before the EMM surrendered were Lieutenant Martin C. Nolan & a female citizen of town. Private Isaac Burk, a member of Company F, 16th Kansas Volunteer Cavalry was at home on furlough & was killed by Fletch Taylor's guerrillas. All members of the 82nd EMM were paroled & 42 men immediately joined the CSA & Thornton. Because of it's tactical importance as a river port Parkville was never burned by Union troops.

Missouri Valley Hotel (built 1851) known as the Paw Paw Fort during its occupation by Union troops. The Missouri River is just behind it.

On the 10th Confederate Colonel Thornton rode into Platte City, MO with his men from the east, while Fletch Taylor's guerrilla force of 60 men rode in from the west. The town was occupied by 5 companies of Enrolled Missouri Militia (EMM) under Senior Commander Captain Richard D. Johnston, who surrendered them unconditionally. Again after being paroled many of the Union soldiers joined with the CSA & Thornton. The citizens were happy to have been liberated from Union occupation. Their town had been spared from burning, unlike when it had been burned in 1861. All young boys age 12 & older were spared from death by Union troops as "pups grow up to be hounds". A 16 yr old Jesse James sat for this now famous photograph dressed in his guerrilla apparel including 36-caliber Colt revolvers, a shirt with large pockets for extra pistol cylinders, and his Rebel slouch hat. He had joined Quantrill's men in May & had been placed under the command of Taylor. Platte City had been his second battle.

You weren’t kidding. That young man must have a time machine. If there were pops and crackling in the recording I’d have thought it was Hank.

He is good isn't he? I hope more people will listen to him. I hope more young singers with a traditional sound will be encouraged by singers like Jake.

Interesting history Jack. I read somewhere that more battles were fought in Missouri than only Virginia and Tennessee? Or was it just Virginia? Do you know?

Not sure of the exact standings but Missouri ranks near the top for number of battles fought, but not ranked as high on casualties. Missouri didn't have the big battles that produced the number of casualties like Gettysburg, Antietam, & Shiloh for example. I've wondered if they counted the number of murders on the Missouri/Kansas border that started in 1854 with the passing of the Kansas - Nebraska Act & continued on thru the Civil War. People were murdered over their suspected leanings; after putting up cash bonds to remain neutral & out of the war; and when it became a war of attrition young boys were killed because "pups grow up to be hounds."

Here it says over 1000 battles in Missouri. 3rd most of any state, behind Virginia and Tennessee.

The most CW battles were fought in Virginia with Tennessee trailing behind......Missouri IS Third with over 1000 battles and skirmishes fought there...

Do you think you could live with that crease? (I bet you could if you had his hat).
