John B. Stetson came west as a young man. He was the son of a successful hatter. In the West, he recognized the need for a felt hat with a wide brim to keep off rain and sun. His famous Boss of the Plains hat became widely popular and he was forever associated with the figure of the western cowboy.
Mary Robinson, the director of the McCracken Research Library, said Stetson soon become associated with good advertising as a symbol of the cowboy. This is very clearly seen by a book published in 1925 by John B. Stetson company, The Stetson Hat In Literature.

Bighorn Canyon National Recreation Area rangers and Powell Valley Community Education are joining forces for a series of four education talks at Northwest College and online.
The series doesn t concentrate on any specific theme but hopes to educate the public on different topics that Bighorn Canyon rangers are passionate about.
Christy Fleming, Bighorn Canyon chief of interpretation, said the idea is to reach out to the community. If we don t have people come to the park, we can go to people in the places where they re at, she said.
The first presentation is on George Washington s life. The following month it will be a presentation on archaeology.
