National Park historian Robert Moore has written and artist Michael Haynes has illustrated a splendid edition about the Lewis and Clark Expedition, but this is not the common version of this epic saga. Indeed, as its title suggests, Lewis & Clark-Tailor Made, Trail Worn focuses on the uniforms and equipment of the Corps of Discovery, Army life during the Jeffersonian era and the wardrobes of the Creole interpreters and the French boatmen who accompanied the soldiers.
When the Lewis and Clark Expedition crossed a continent in 1803 to 1806, they started out in U.S. Army uniforms, which gradually hand 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.
