27. Lincoln Kept Documents Inside His Hat
Abraham Lincoln is well-known for generally wearing a top hat. While the hat always seems to look the same, he wore many different styles of top hats. Being the tallest United States President in history, Lincoln did not need the hat to make himself taller. He used the lid to keep essential documents that he needed. Many people who witnessed one of Abraham Lincoln’s speeches stated that before he started speaking, he would take off his hat, pull out a sheet of paper, and replace his hat.
