  • Hat Envy ?

    I thought this was a good hat story, must have been one heck of a hat. Were they laughing at him or with him?:tounge_sm

    July 1895 "Confederate Veteran"
    Letters from Veterans

    Jack Dawkins, Collinsville, Texas

    I belonged to Company A, Ninth Regiment, Hays' Louisiana Brigade, of which the Louisiana Tigers was a part, and was very conspicuous on account of a hat I wore. It was made in Georgia, very heavy, and when it got wet I allowed it to run up to seed, making it the shape of a sugar loaf, very sharp and tall. The boys used to holloa out,"Younder comes Petersburg; I see the steeple." "Come down out of that hat; I know you are in there, see your legs sticking out." "Hello, hat! where are you going with that boy?"

    Boozie,
    Thats exactly how I feel when I see you walking around in that saxon blue frock. "Where's that thing plugged in at?"

    Great find, I had to share that one with my Dad.
