“Daniel Boone” coonskin cap
Back in the 50’s when Fess Parker was playing Daniel Boone on American TV, every kid in the U.S. had to have a genuine coonskin cap. I was too young to participate in this fad and had to wait until I was 40 year old before I finally found one of these. It called out to me from the shelf of a gift shop deep in the swamp country of Louisiana along with a stuffed alligator head. |
