Not even close! Even though historians have many theories for the origin of the name, one strong possibility is found in the term &#8220;tan galan&#8221; which is Spanish for &#8220;so handsome.&#8221; What&#8217;s more, the word &#8220;galan&#8221; translates as &#8220;braid&#8221; in English. Because so many cowboy hats have a narrow leather hatband wrapped around them, cowboy hats are often referred to as &#8220;braided hats.&#8221; But, most likely, the term may have been literally lost (and found) in translation. Cowboys simply may have overhead Spanish speakers referring to the hats as handsome or braided, mishearing their words as 10 gallons.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><div class=\"slide\"><div class=\"map-slide-img\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"320\" height=\"320\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pbs.org\/weta\/iconic-america\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/map-cowboy-graphics-horseshoe.webp\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"Horseshoe illustration\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.pbs.org\/weta\/iconic-america\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/map-cowboy-graphics-horseshoe.webp 320w, https:\/\/www.pbs.org\/weta\/iconic-america\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/map-cowboy-graphics-horseshoe-300x300.webp 300w, https:\/\/www.pbs.org\/weta\/iconic-america\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/map-cowboy-graphics-horseshoe-150x150.webp 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 320px) 100vw, 320px\" \/><\/div><div class=\"map-slide-text\"><h2 class=\"h4\">The Artist Inside the Hat<\/h2><p>Western artist Lon Megargee isn\u2019t exactly a household name, but he should be.

When he moved to Philly in the late 1940s, Ferrell began riding horses on the streets of the city. He soon saw the sport of riding as an opportunity both to teach urban youth the value of horsemanship and to provide them with lessons in mental and moral fortitude. In 1980, Ferrell opened a stable of 5 horses on Master Street, moving the stable to Fletcher Street in 2004. Throughout the years and through many helping hands, he has helped generations of locals build confidence and character.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t<a class=\"map-link map-link-lg icon-md\" style=\"top: 5%; right: 12%;\" data-tar=\"map-overlay4\" aria-label=\"Click Icon to Learn More\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"350\" height=\"401\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pbs.org\/weta\/iconic-america\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/map-sol-icon.webp\" class=\"icon-map icon-map-lg img-fluid\" alt=\"Statue of Liberty icon\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.pbs.org\/weta\/iconic-america\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/map-sol-icon.webp 350w, https:\/\/www.pbs.org\/weta\/iconic-america\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/map-sol-icon-262x300.webp 262w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 350px) 100vw, 350px\" \/><\/a><a class=\"map-link map-link-sm icon-md\" data-tar=\"map-overlay4\" aria-label=\"Click Icon to Learn More\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"350\" height=\"401\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pbs.org\/weta\/iconic-america\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/map-sol-icon-nostar.webp\" class=\"icon-map icon-map-sm img-fluid\" alt=\"Statue of Liberty icon\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.pbs.org\/weta\/iconic-america\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/map-sol-icon-nostar.webp 350w, https:\/\/www.pbs.org\/weta\/iconic-america\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/map-sol-icon-nostar-262x300.webp 262w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 350px) 100vw, 350px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"map-overlay\" id=\"map-overlay4\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"map-content\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<style>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t#map-overlay4 .map-content .slick-arrow { color: #52c489;}\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t#map-overlay4 .map-content .btn-close-overlay { color: #52c489;}\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/style>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"btn-close-overlay\" aria-label=\"Close Window\"><i class=\"fa-sharp fa-solid fa-xmark\"><\/i><\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"map-inner\" style=\"border-color: #52c489;\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"map-content-header\" style=\"border-color: #52c489;\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"772\" height=\"265\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pbs.org\/weta\/iconic-america\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/map-sol-header.webp\" class=\"icon-content img-fluid\" alt=\"Statue of Liberty\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.pbs.org\/weta\/iconic-america\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/map-sol-header.webp 772w, https:\/\/www.pbs.org\/weta\/iconic-america\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/map-sol-header-300x103.webp 300w, https:\/\/www.pbs.org\/weta\/iconic-america\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/map-sol-header-768x264.webp 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 772px) 100vw, 772px\" \/><p class=\"map-content-location\" style=\"color: #52c489\">Like America itself, each part of Lady Liberty has its own story to tell.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"slideshow-map\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"slide\"><div class=\"map-slide-img\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"320\" height=\"320\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pbs.org\/weta\/iconic-america\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/map-sol-graphics-face.webp\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"Egyptian woman illustration\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.pbs.org\/weta\/iconic-america\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/map-sol-graphics-face.webp 320w, https:\/\/www.pbs.org\/weta\/iconic-america\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/map-sol-graphics-face-300x300.webp 300w, https:\/\/www.pbs.org\/weta\/iconic-america\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/map-sol-graphics-face-150x150.webp 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 320px) 100vw, 320px\" \/><\/div><div class=\"map-slide-text\"><h2 class=\"h4\">The Many Faces of Liberty<\/h2><p>The identity behind Liberty&#8217;s countenance has long been up for debate.

Writer Elizabeth Mitchell alleged that it was a depiction of Bartholdi\u2019s brother Charles, a law student who ended up in an insane asylum.
