Abstract:

The Quakers of a century ago were recognizable by their hats. At Guilford College Library is a hat worn by Nathan Hunt, often referred to as the patriarch of Quakerism in North Carolina. Richard Beard settled with the Quaker colony near what is now High Point; he brought with him some knowledge of the manufacture of hats.
