Real cowboy hats

A little past the timeline but:

Susan Anderson, MD

1870-1960

Susan Anderson, M.D. was born in 1870 and moved to Cripple Creek, Colorado, with her family in 1891 during the gold rush. She graduated from the University of Michigan in 1897. In one of her first cases as a physician, Anderson rejected a surgeon's recommendation to amputate and saved the arm of a boy who had accidentally exploded dynamite in a mine.

After encountering difficulties building a practice in Denver, Greeley and Eaton, Anderson found her services appreciated in Fraser, where she treated lumberjacks, ranchers, railroad workers and even animals. Townsfolk referred to her as "Doc Susie." Although most of her practice involved house calls, she never owned a horse or car. When her services were needed, and the patient was distant, relatives or friends of the patient would provide her with transportation. She often accompanied patients to Colorado General Hospital in Denver to admit them for treatment. Usually paid in firewood or food, she was poor most of her life.

One presumes that if a REAL cowboy is a wearing a hat?

It must logically BE a real cowboy hat.

Mind if I bump your old thread rather than start a new one? It's crazy you NEVER see anyone in Michigan wearing a Cowboy hat. I was thinking about getting one. I drive a truck so I'd probably look cool wearing a cowboy hat. But I don't want the old style big one.

Maybe a Fedora is better

William S. Hart was a major western silent film star and producer noted for his insistence on historical accuracy in costumes and sets. He actually grew up in the post-Civil West. Just about anything worn in one of his movies would be historically accurate.

Tourists in Panama who wear these hats wake up in a bathtub full of ice water missing a kidney.
