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. "There are few subjects that ignite more casual, uninformed bigotry and condescension from elites in this nation more than Dixie - Jonah Goldberg" |
