Lewis & Clark Tailor Made, Trail Worn
Army Life, Clothing, & Weapons of the Corps of
Discovery
By Robert J. Moore, Jr. and Michael Haynes.
When the Lewis and Clark Expedition crossed a continent in 1803
to 1806, they started out in U.S. Army uniforms, which gradually
had to be replaced with simple leather garments. For parts of
those uniforms, only a single drawing, pattern, or example
survives. Historian Moore and artist Haynes have researched
archives and museums to locate and verify what the men wore, and
Haynes has painted and sketched the clothing in scenes of the
trip. Also included are Indian styles the men adopted, and the
wardrobes of the Creole interpreters and the French boatmen.
Weapons and accessories round out this complete record of what
the expedition wore or carried--and why. A great reference for
artists, living history performers, museums, and military
historians.
288 pages, 10 3/8" x 10". Hardbound.
