Athor Stewart H.Holbrook bought the hat in Boston just before he boarded the steam-cars to seek fame and fotune amidst the booms and busts of the roaring '20s. On his journey he discovered there were still people who liked fried elk for breakfast and noticed that not all cowboys were six feet tall and lithe. He was delighted with a hamlet named Pluvuus because one it rained for 362 days and the other three days, according to the sole resident, "was goddam cloudy."</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"History by Holbrook is never dull. Still it remains good solid history." David Karno, Chicago Sun Times "Mr. Holbrook could not be dull if he tried. He is always full of good humor and often a barrel house of fun, even when he is thinking like a professor." Nard Jones, Seattle Post Intelligencer "One of the liveliest writers of our time."
