Why Did the Signers Wear Wigs? Roger Sherman, Benjamin Rush and Others
It's a style of the time that makes the Signers seem so different than us moderners: the headwear that we associate with Founding Fathers. Wigs and Powder. In this episode we discuss it a bit in the course of talking about some more of the Signers. Not all of the Signers wore them, and the type that was most often worn was a modernized version, a sign that this tradition was on its way out and the 1776 was right before the end of the fashion trend. In the course of discussing this topic we go over the lives of some of the Connecticut signers and Pennsylvania's Doctor Benjamin Rush.
