The Cowboy Hat Book
William Reynolds and Ritch Rand
Gibbs Smith, Publisher, Salt Lake City

The cowboy hat is an American icon. [I include it at the "Iconic Hats" section. The link can be found at the column on the left.] This book expands upon that theme. If you have an interest in the culture of the American West, the story of the evolution of this hat style, great pictures - old and new - of both hats and people wearing them, then you'll like this book. The book credits John B. Stetson with inventing the hat. Although some question how much this is fact versus myth (or rather true invention versus modification of existing headgear), I enjoyed the Stetson story as told by Reynolds and Rand.
