by Tierney, Tom
Rugged, hard-working and unpretentious, American pioneers frequently wore clothing that mirrored their lifestyles, occasionally brightening an otherwise difficult life with touches of color and imaginative accents. Artist Tom Tierney catches the spirit of the mid-19th-century pioneer family in this carefully researched and expertly rendered addition to Dover's popular "American Family" series. Nine dolls-accompanied by 36 costumes and an accurate cutout of a covered wagonrecreate a family of three generations, with clothing for work and special occasions, ranging from a fringed buckskin outfit and simple calico dress to a stylish suit and a fashionable gown. An informative introduction provides a vivid picture of early pioneer life, and notes supply descriptive details for costumes and accessories. Educational as well as entertaining, this full-color collection will appeal to students and teachers of American history, costume aficionados and paper doll fans of all ages.
