Show us their hats!

[Who?]

It looks to me as if Mr. Rainwater should have been buying larger hats.

Impressive picture! If I remember correctly that massive cowboy pistol collection bought by Cabala’s & displayed in their Gun Library some yrs back now, was dicended down from Rainwater.

Carthage, MO was the birth home of Myra Maybelle “May” Shirley, better known in history as “Belle” Starr. Her parents were innkeepers & some historians make a business connection between her father & Joe Church, & later a romantic connection with May. But she was married so many times the timing & connections are weak.

Civil War veteran. "If looks could kill" served him well in war time.

Those are some amazing overalls too.

Sorry for the "flash burst" but it provided the clearest image.....

Unidentified gentlemen, but most likely the primary directors of the building of Powersite Dam (Lake Taneycomo, Missouri). 1911 - 1913.

Happy Birthday, John Batterson Stetson. One hundred and ninety-three and you don't look a day over 100!

Thanks for all the hats.

I was going to argue with you, because that photo shows up as Stetson in more than a few places. However, after looking at some more shots of Cody, that cravat on his tie is in several shots of Buffalo Bill.

Believe it or not, it's hard to find a pic of Stetson wearing a hat.

Mea culpa.

Will the real John B Stetson please stand up?

For sake of JBS.....a life size bronze from Stetson University.

And an image (without the hat......).

Painter Mark Rothko sporting what looks like a black thin ribbon with side dents. Kind of an unusual and bohemian hat for New York in the 1950s.
