Black baseball cap with a letter "A" insignia extending from the front of the hat onto the bill. Inside are the repeated words "REAL FIT," and a tag giving the brand as "Blackhole," the material as 97% cotton and 3% spandex, and the place of manufacture as Vietnam. This artifact was found on Morning Star Ranch, a ranch in the town of Boulevard in San Diego County, two miles north of the California/Mexico border. Donna Tisdale, the owner of the ranch, retrieved this object as one of many items that people crossing the border through her ranch have left behind. In the donor file is a description of the ranch and the border crossers, as well as thoughts on immigration, written by Tisdale.

Used: immigrant ~ Mexico | California/Mexico border | San Diego Co. | Morning Star Ranch
