Hat of Harrison at Tippecanoe Tapped by Moore Heir
One hundred years ago during the Tippecanoe campaign General William Henry Harrison wore a military hat owned by Colonel John S. Moore. Moore later gave the hat to his son William M. Moore of Turman township near Graysville, with Moore family keeping it in the line. The hat's fur has worn away, leaving only the base fabric, and the plume was added later.
