RE: News story about the Taper hat
On a tour at Hildene several years ago, a tour guide told me they believe, as President, Lincoln owned 7 stovepipe hats. How they know that - I don't know. Even in the years before his Presidency, he was earning a very good income, so maybe he wouldn't be without a spare.

This was an interesting story, but it kind of takes the wind out of my sails to hear these doubts.
