    Re: "Stampede String"

    Most of the photos appear to have been hot-linked from the 3rd New Jersey website, but they seem to be gone now. When I plugged the URLs from the Properties box into my browser, I got a "404" on every one.

    Could this be the photo?

    Just a moment...

      Hallo!

      Thanks Herr Rob, I believe it is.. 'preciate it.

      However, it was Jason R. Wickersty's magic in blowing up the individual men to allow detail to be observed (as I was trying to pull up the "stampede string" blow-up") that I need.

      Thanks!

        It's about 23 megabytes. (I did a search on "Sherman", and it was listed as number four out of 108.)

        I hope this is the gent to which you are referring.

          Gents,

          If this is indeed the fellow mentioned in the query about the "stampede string," I'd have to register a "no" vote. Just looks like the narrow silk band on a beat-up Hardee hat to me.

          Cheers,

            Greetings,
            I'm going to agree with Nick here and say that I would be very reluctant to call this a "stampede string." To me it just looks like a ribbon band that has risen up on a well used hat that has been stretched out at the base by the wearers head.

              Hallo!

              Sorry to be slow in getting back...
              NO...
              That is not the individual image my memory recalls. What I recall (but did not commit to memory as I thought it would be archived "forever" on the Forum....), was that the hat "string" was clearly down under the man's chin in the blow-up of whichever man it was.

                The man to his right is the one in question. I'll see if I can get it for you.

                Well, for some weird reason I cannot seem to do attachments from home. On my computer at work, it works fine. Will keep trying...

                    Re: "Stampede String"

                    I don't know what that is, a glitch in the image or what ( he did move) but there is still No evidence of little leather stampede strings being pushed through a hat going under a chin to keep the hat on! I don't believe that is a string. The only thing remotely similar is a ribbon associated with some early dragoon hardee and that is questionable. Quite to the contrary most first hand written accounts are of men losing their hats and primary images show none. Even if One day some farb enabler will come up with something they claim is proof and it will still be considered Jaguar trousers.

                        I enlarged it a bit more and sharpened it a touch. There is definitely some sort of string over the crown of the hat, through the brim, and under the chin.

                          I am not convinced there is a string. That image is blurry I'm just not sure. Either way, it's still Jaguar trousers. Look at the crease/shadow/crack in the image that runs verticle from in front of his ear to above his hat? Nobody wears a string over the crown!?

                            To tell you the truth, I'm not 100% sure either.

                            Every time I look at it, it looks different, although it does appear as though there is a shadow cast by the string - if that's what it is - on the left side of the man's face. (Either that, or he was in a serious knife fight.)

                            Truth be told, I don't personally care one way or the other. I posted that at Curt's request; I don't think anyone on this board is going to try to use it as an excuse.

                              Here is a theory, might it not be simply an adapted use of the standard issue hat cord and an abused standard issue army hat? Also, if memory serves, I seem to recall something about Hardee Hats issued to the cavalry having buttons on some such on the inside for attaching a chin strap. Not 100% on that one though, so I need to look for the info.
