Curious Tall Hat Trounces a Geologist in Noissavolina
An 1873 travel tale by Howard Johnson recounts a tall beegum hat causing crowd interest in mountainous Noissavolina and eastern Tennessee. Locals gathered, riders arrived on mules and steers, and a committee tested if his head matched the hat, leaving him to abandon the showy headpiece for normal wear.
