The Cockade Column - The Aztec Club of 1847
What do three American presidents, an officer's club and “the halls of Montezuma” all have in common?
If you answered “The Aztec Club of 1847” you would either be super smart, or reading my mind as I wrote this Column! Today is Cinco de Mayo so naturally I chose a cockade from Mexican history to look at.
I found out about the Aztec Club when one of its current members asked me to make an Aztec Club cockade for him. Since the history of the club is pretty cool, so I’m going to inflict it on you today!
