Getting the gear right is its own challenge. “I tried to fit in,” says Burnett. “I ordered white cotton, double-button-front britches, a shirt, and moccasins. But when I put it all on, I looked like Little Lord Fauntleroy. So I put everything in a plastic bucket, added red-brown dye, and let it sit for four days. When I took it out, it looked like a 19th century tie-dye.”
