To be clear the autobiographic is not authenticated but here is how I came to own it. I was in the richer part of south of Nashville. I happened upon a expensive house that was having a tag sale. The ladies were super nice and seemed to be doing it for fun. I found the hat on a table and inquired about it. Without missing a beat she stated his name and said he signed it some years ago for the family. I asked why she would get rid of it and why it does not have sentimental value. She said he is a friend of the family and she can get one any time she wants. I believed her and hence it is why its up here for sale. Some staining on the bill shown in photos.
