"The" Lewis & Clark Book!


		"Lewis & Clark: Tailor Made, Trail Worn: Army Life, Clothing & Weapons of the Corps of Discovery" by Robert J. Moore, Jr. and Michael Haynes Color Illustrated with Sources and Index Farcountry Press © 2003 10.5" x 10", 288 pgs $39.95
	To create this book Robert J. Moore, Jr. and Michael Haynes have blended their respective training in history and art –– and added their share of love of living-history presentations and researching archives and museum holdings. The result is this generously illustrated and solidly documented book, the definitive work on clothing and accoutrements of the Lewis and Clark Expedition from the summer of 1803 to triumphant completion in September 1806. Many sources are quoted generously throughout the text, and are used to guarantee the accuracy of Haynes' sketches and paintings. Importantly, Moore and Haynes create the context in which the expedition operated. They detail soldiers' daily routine in forts and cantonments of the United States' western frontier in 1803, and the theory behind military necessities like uniformity in appearance and visible identification of rank. This context further highlights a major reason for the expedition's success: the inventive captains' versatility in adopting convenient styles and materials found along their path.
RECENT REVIEWS ––"This book is the first to look at this 'Corps of Discovery' for what it was, a military expedition 'rooted in the traditions and restrictions of the U.S. Army dress and decorum'. I recommend it highly." –– William L. Brown III, Historian, NPS, Harper's Ferry –– "I received your book yesterday...Marvelous, absolutely marvelous!!! The size, artwork, color and Michael's incredible talent, just marvelous!!!...Bob, your book...is simply astounding, wonderful, great. It is impressive..." –– Sherman Fleek, Ret. U.S. Army –– "There is now important literature for Lewis and Clark. To understand the Expedition as a military enterprise, its preparations and to seek information on period military clothing, there is a new authoritative book that is a must read!..." –– Donald L. Hastings, Jr., Expedition historian –– "This new book...will help replace the myth that all the men on the expedition were dressed in buckskins. The Corps of Discovery was not a bunch of backwoods men who looked like Fess Parker in their cookskin caps and tricorn hats, trying to look like Daniel Boone...You will not find the TV version of Lewis and Clark within these pages...Take a long look at this book, it is destined to become a classic among the volumes of books written about the Lewis and Clark Expedition."
