    A VERY RARE FORE & AFT HERE FOR THE BOSTON LIGHT INFANTRY VOLUNTEERS!  THE 43rd REGIMENT MASSACHUSETTS VOLUNTEER INFANTRY WAS A REGIMENT OF INFANTRY THAT SERVED IN THE CIVIL WAR. THE NUCLEUS OF THE REGIMENT WAS THE SECOND BATTALION MASSACHUSETTS VOLUNTEER MILITIA, A UNIT DATING TO 1798 KNOWN AS THE BOSTON LIGHT INFANTRY AND NICKNAMED THE "TIGERS". I BELIEVE THIS HAT TO BE PRODUCED WHEN THE UNIT WAS FORMED BACK IN 1798, OR SHORTLY THEREAFTER, AND PROBABLY  EVEN WORN FOR CEREMONIAL PURPOSES DURING THE CIVIL WAR. TRULY A WONDERFUL AND MOST HISTORICAL MILITARY ARTIFACT HERE.  THE HAT & DOCUMENT COMES FROM AN ESTATE IN CAMBRIDGE, MASSACHUSETTS. I ASSUME THIS WAS THE HAT OF CAPTAIN GARDNER OR ONE OF THE FAMILY MEMBERS.
