The guy graduated dead last in his class at Westpoint. He was nothing but a flamboyant baffoon. One of my best friends GG Uncle, Charlie Reynolds was a civilian guide with Custer & killed that day. You can find his name on the rolls.

The battlefield is very somber. I've been there twice. The only other place I have been where the same feelings & emotions overcome me is Shiloh Hill.
I was at Little Big Horn too. I thought it was kind of spooky. I felt uneasy there, for some reason.

Here's the photo previously discussed. It's one of my wife's favorites.

The top is kind of mounding just a bit so I don't doubt that it is a telescope crease. I just don't believe it was a derby.
Considering they're all wearing suits (I'd have a hard time believing those were their regular work clothes) it was probably his "dress" Fedora and he creased it and shaped the brim that way because he liked the style.
