Hello everyone!
I have another question for the forum.
i have an article from Marion, Alabama that states that a gentleman by the name of Deyampert donated about $1200 to Company E of the 28th Alabama. Include in this donation are, "light colored home made hats" that were given to the company. Deyampert had about 60+ slaves in Perry county Alabama. The main article is dated March 7th 1862.
My main question is.....what would be a "home made" hat?
would it be:
1) a fez of some sort?
2) a quilted hat made of fabric?
3) a straw hat?
Any help is greatly appreciated.
This is for pure research into the 28th Alabama infantry's history. Research is difficult to conduct in Ohio.
Thanks everyone!
