Cool brim.

I'll agree with that. Nice sheen on the ribbon too.

I sure have been enjoying these images you have posted Michael. Where do they come from?

I like this one. So much to see. I just can't imagine...I've spent some time in a tipi...all the comforts of home.

1939. I'm not sure on the hat, but I would sure wear the coat.

I have a friend that lived in a teepee for a summer, back in the day. Some other friends of mine and I built a hay topped "house" up in northern Wisconsin one summer. It was quite comfortable, but as I recall it was also home to any number of chigger like creatures that made for poor sleeping.
One thing I like in that photo is that each man has a completely different style of hat or cap.

Thanks,
Michael

I enjoyed looking at their netting, poles, etc. As a kid we seined for shad & minnows for bait.

Sounds like the hay roofed house would have been fun to build & stay in for a while. I've always wanted to engineer a dugout. This one has collapsed in mostly, just a small portion of it's former self but it's 150 yrs old too. And it's been protected from public vandalism.

I remember seining minnows, and catching frogs for bait. I think my brother-in-law still traps leeches in the spring for walleye bait.

If you want to look at dugouts taken to the extreme, page through this book. https://archive.org/details/craftsmenofneces00will . The section on north Africa has some amazing ones, of a different nature than the historical western US ones. It also has a wide variety of construction materials and methods from an arc through the middle east and eastern Europe up to Scandinavia and Lapland. I've spent many an hour looking at the photos.

Perhaps a fan of Dutch style hats!
He wore a uniform of black velveteen, with gold lace that extended from his wrist to his elbow,
a wide-collared blue sailor shirt with silver stars sewn on and a red necktie around his throat.
It is said that Custer wanted a distinctive uniform so his men could see him during combat.

The “Boy General”.

I just watch a video biography about his brother. He was truly a hero and it's a shame his actions have been overshadowed by his brother's foolish ones.

In 1936 the fedoras were undented, but homburgs dented?

Go figure.
