Re: Fur Hats
look in the foreground of this Camp Douglas photo. The VRC guards have several spectacular fur hats! You can zoom in quite a bit with the controls on the right side.

Have you tried the search feature? There was a discussion about this very thing, fur hats. I believe Scott Cross had several photos of frontiersmen wearing "pillbox" style fur hats with and without brimms. They were mostly from up in his neck of the woods. eg. Iowa, Nebraska, Wis, Minn, Illinois, etc[FONT=Times New Roman][COLOR=DarkSlateGray][SIZE=3]Michael Phillips, GGG Grandson of

Was Gen Sherman's response upon hearing the capture and execution of 3 reporters who had followed from Atlanta, by the rebels.
The execution part turned out to be false.[COLOR=DarkRed] [B]Dagg Nabbit![/B][/COLOR][/FONT]Comment

Re: Fur Hats
The thread was "How to cover your ears" MissouriStateGuard had a photo backmarked Muscatine, Iowa that had several fur hats in it, unfortunately that pic is gone from that thread.

Re: Fur Hats
search the NC museum of History, there was a brown cordroy hat made for him that is there. Its has ear flaps, not the kind of hat your looking for though. I belive it is in the EOG CS equipment too.[FONT=Times New Roman][COLOR=DarkSlateGray][SIZE=3]Michael Phillips, GGG Grandson of

Re: Fur Hats
I have an original mid-19th century fur cap of the classic style in my collection. Check out my photo album of original clothing on my profile for pictures of it. If you're interested in any further details contact me via PM.Ian McWherter

Re: Fur Hats
Side note to the fur hat discussion, but that image of Camp Douglas is amazing! What better source is there for what Confederates looked like during wartime, specifically in the concept of head gear. Very neat picture!

Re: Fur Hats
Joseph McCloud of the Minnesota Mounted Rangers served in General Sibley's headquarters as a scout and mapmaker. Here he is wearing his unusual fur hat in 1863.
