Hats Off offers a concise history of U.S. Army headgear from the
immediate post Civil War era to the eve of World War I. In this study
historian John P. Langellier shares more than a quarter of a century of
research in archives, museums, and private collections throughout the
nation. An informative text is supported by nearly 400 illustrations of
rare and important military headdress. The volume is destined to become
a standard reference for collectors, curators, and those interested in
American military uniforms from the Indian Wars through the early 20th
century.
