You've all got me wondering who the first guy was who stuck a feather in his hat….like, the very first guy. What did he have on his mind? Did he walk back to his camp or village or whatever and people looked and said, "…cool!", or did they say, "…what are you made up for?". I can sorta understand the eagle feather thing…wearing the feather of the big, top of the food chain bird to indicate your position but what's the historical root of a man wearing a feather in his hat?
