RE: News story about the Taper hat
That is an interesting piece. It would make more sense that the hat was given to Waller in Illinois rather than Washington. It is known that during the debates with Douglas that Lincoln wore a stovepipe hat, while Douglas wore a hat with a white brim. Although one must ask the question "why would you give someone your hat?"
