Teddy's Toppers

[feltfan]

Since our New York members no doubt take the
American Museum of Natural History for granted,
it falls to this California member to post Theodore
Roosevelt's hats.

Cool bash, eh?

The Panama has, as you might imagine, quite a nice
tight weave.

Don't let that awful thing Robin Williams has on his head in
Night at the Museum give you the wrong idea.

Which members are these? The few members I know appreciate it well enough.

By odd coincidence, I just put a photo of T. R. with his campaign hat up here, yesterday:

Pat_H, you mean this? It has a lot more character than the cheap hat
Williams wore in the movie.

Feraud, tongue-in-cheek. Just a tease 'cause it took a
California member to post something in New York.

Wonder what happened to this one:

It is not one of the two hats in the cabinet at the museum attributed to his Span-Am War era.

I thought about giving this thread the title, "Deanglen bait",
but decided on something more descriptive...

So you're implying that TR had as many as seven hats?
No one needs that many hats!

Didn't he? (note the edit of this shot. I had to post it again! LUV every hat in the shot!

I love that hat to the right of TR. The one with the Montana peak. Also it is good to see officers looking as gritty as their soldiers.

Evidence of to seven hats

Found these. TR liked hats.

If only he had known then what we know now
about addiction and hats.

Actually, if only I could shop where he shopped.

TR

He's as fascinating as a guy gets. You'll like this book:

He was a voracious reader. He read magazines standing up. As he completed a page, he would tear it out and throw it on the floor. When he was finished, five or six publications were in torn piles at his feet.

He wrote what is still considered the comprehensive history of the Naval War of 1812.

And he actually, really did apprehend an outlaw in the Dakota badlands.

Indeed, that is an excellent book. Morris' sequel, Theodore Rex, is also good, but the Rise of Theodore Roosevelt is better.

Won the Nobel Peace Prize for mediating the end of the Russo Japanese War. Published on Adirondak birds in his teens. Member of the New York legislature in his 20s. Author of many books on various other topics. First US President to go down in a submarine.

Funnily I just watched Arsenic and Old Lace with Cary Grant, and the crazy uncle character thinks he's Teddy Roosevelt. Throughout the film he blows his bugle, sprints up San Juan Hill (the staircase), etc.
