I looked up the book and I remember seeing a movie about this. I don't pay it much heed since my reason for wearing a white feather is far removed from that. I'm a hunter and wearing or using a white feather is a sign of your hunting skill. Ted Nugent uses white arrows and white fletching. Sgt. Carlos Hathcock a famous Marine Corps Sniper was known for wearing a white feather in his cover. To me, wearing a white feather pays homage to those with a lot more skill than me.
Of course I expect folks to think of the Four Feathers but we all wear kilts despite what other folks think eh? Thanks for the heads up though it's appreciated
