Description:

Lewis & Clark Tailor Made, Trail Worn Army Life, Clothing, & Weapons of the Corps of ì Discovery
By Robert J. Moore, Jr. and Michael Haynes.

When the Lewis and Clark Expedition crossed a continent in 1803 ì to 1806, they started out in U.S. Army uniforms, which gradually ì had to be replaced with simple leather garments. For parts of ì those uniforms, only a single drawing, pattern, or example ì survives. Historian Moore and artist Haynes have researched ì archives and museums to locate and verify what the men wore, and ì Haynes has painted and sketched the clothing in scenes of the ì trip. Also included are Indian styles the men adopted, and the ì wardrobes of the Creole interpreters and the French boatmen. ì Weapons and accessories round out this complete record of what ì the expedition wore or carried--and why. A great reference for ì artists, living history performers, museums, and military ì historians.
