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.

Exhaustively researched and wonderfully illustrated

Reviewed in the United States on August 31, 2006

One of the frustrating things about researching early America is the lack of good graphic images. Aside from stiff formal portraits of the captains, there is little that can tell you visually what it might have been like to be part of the Lewis & Clark Expedition. That's where artists come in, of course. One of the best artists who is rendering images of Lewis & Clark today is Michael Haynes.

It seems kind of funny to imagine guys running around the wilderness wearing those hats, but they really did! Tailor Made, Trail Worn is an exhaustively researched and wonderfully illustrated study of the clothing worn by the men of the Corps of Discovery. Every Lewis & Clark scholar is indebted to Moore and Haynes for this great book.

Tailor Made, Trail Worn recreates Lewis and Clark Expedition

Reviewed in the United States on August 27, 2004

Tailor Made, Trail Worn, by Bob Moore and Michael Haynes fills a huge gap in the study of the Lewis and Clark Expedition. This gap is the lack of knowledge about the correct clothing, equipment and weapons of the expedition, and can most readily be summed up in the pervasive images of the co-leaders, Capts. Meriwether Lewis and William Clark, attired, respectively, in tricorn and coonskin hats as they point the way westward on countless Lewis and Clark highway signs. After reading Tailor Made, Trail Worn any misunderstandings of how Lewis and Clark actually appeared will be dispelled forever. Moore has produced a compelling and comprehensive essay on this complicated subject while the many color and black and white paintings and drawings by Haynes add visual richness and detailed and accurate recreations of the dress and accoutrements of the expedition members.

A more fortuitous and happy blending of talents than those of Moore and Haynes can hardly be imaged. Bob Moore is a highly respected historian who has been at the Gateway Arch (Jefferson National Expansion Memorial National Historic Site) for many years. He is the author of Native Americans: The Art and Travels of Charles Bird King, George Catlin and Karl Bodmer, and has written numerous articles, many of which have appeared in We Proceeded On, the magazine of the Lewis and Clark Heritage Trail Foundation. Michael Haynes is respected across the nation as one of the finest artists at work recreating the Lewis and Clark Expedition. He has been amazingly prolific, and has created numerous paintings and drawings depicting the entire course of the expedition. He is considered the successor to such artists as Olaf Seltzer and John Clymer in his extraordinary ability bring those times to life in vivid works of art. But he has the advantage over preceding artists in the accuracy of his research into what the people of the L&C era wore and how they appeared. Much of this accuracy in his paintings and drawings comes from his partnership with Bob Moore.

Together this pair of talented individuals takes us on an extraordinary tour of the material culture of the Lewis and Clark era. In their search for answers to the question of how the men and woman of the expedition dressed and appeared, they have had to not only closely analyze the military uniforms of the era, but also the civilian dress of Kentucky frontiersmen, French boatman, and ordinary Americans. Native American attire figures into this study, as well. Moore takes us deep into the background of the era as he explores what military life was like at the time of the expedition, examines the colorful tapestry of cultures on the western frontier, describes every element of dress and equipment, and carefully sifts the expedition journals for every reference to clothing and other items throughout the whole course of the expedition from beginning to end. This is essential as the members of the expedition went through many changes in attire as their cloth military issue clothing and leather shoes and boots wore out and had to be replaced by animal skins. Every step of this exhaustive and extensive literary journey is illustrated by the superb artwork of Michael Haynes. Contemporary artwork and illustrations of the period appear throughout the book but it is the many meticulously executed drawings and paintings of Haynes that form the backbone of the book in terms of illustrations.

The book itself is beautifully designed and printed on heavy paper; it would look good on any coffee table, and certainly belongs in the library of any person who is interested in the Lewis and Clark Expedition or in the dress and other material culture of that fascinating but little understood (until now) period.

James M. Denny, co-author with James D. Harlan, of the Atlas of Lewis and Clark in Missouri (University of Missouri Press, 2003)

Most Authoritative Book on Lewis & Clark

Reviewed in the United States on August 26, 2004

This book is an esssential addition to any Lewis & Clark Library, whether a serious scholar or one of the millions who just loves the story of the Expedition. Bob Moore and Michael Haynes stand head and shoulders above any other authorities on this topic, and their words and images are the closest we can get to what the Corps of Discovery was really like. As President of the Lewis & Clark Fort Mandan Foundation, and past president of the National Council of the Lewis & Clark Bicentennial, I heartily recommend this book for anyone who wants more detail on this incredible American Epic.

De expeditie waarover het boek gaat wordt ontleed in details die tot hiertoe nog niet veel aan bod kwamen .... Dagelijks leven bij het leger toen, de sleur, kledij, discipline, straffen.... De expeditie en al wat en wie er mee te maken had, ontdaan van franje en romantiek ....Teruggaan naar wat we echt (kunnen) weten over hoe het er echt aan toe moet zijn gegaan! Een eye opener! Sterk aanbevolen!
