  1. Hello,
    The coonskin cap shown in two photos was not worn by Mr.Fess Parker.Nowhere in the movie is he shown wearing this hat.Someone made a mistake here.I was a personal friend of Mr.Parker for many years.

  2. I video-taped Fess Parker trying this cap on in 2006.It sat on top of his head and was several sizes too small.It's a nice cap but nothing more than that.
