Subdeacon Joe Posted January 17, 2024 Share Posted January 17, 2024 " #NationalHatDay #HatDay During a burial truce following the Confederate victory at the Battle of Cedar Mountain, J.E.B. Stuart suggested to his old friend, Union General Samuel Crawford, that the Northern press would somehow find a way to paint the Union defeat as a victory. Crawford replied that not even the “reckless New York Herald” could find a way to make the battle seem a victory. Thus, Stuart offered a bet: Crawford would owe him a new hat if the Northern press proclaimed the Battle of Cedar Mountain a Union triumph. A few days later Stuart received a package in camp from Crawford. It contained a copy of the New York Herald and a new plumed hat. Photo: One of J.E.B. Stuart’s plumed hats worn during the Civil War, Courtesy American Civil War Museum" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
