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.

He took the advice of his dermatologist & wore a hat.

Looks like derby's were the order of the day. What would you say this hat is?

He could just have the crown pushed down into a telescope.

His wife's hat?

I don't think it was a telescoped derby; light color, real wide ribbon & all.

This guy reminds me of the last pics of Frank James & his hat taken shortly before his death in 1915.

Looks like a boater with a stylized brim. Boaters were made in fur too, presumably for chaps who just liked the look & wanted to wear them year-round.

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.

Agree. Brim ain't right for 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.

Yep, sometimes the simplest answer is the best one.
