Laurie,
Were the books based on the Texas area in the 19th Century? I believe it
was Texas Tech who published the books.

Becky,
As far as hair, a simple explanation is that it was cut due to some
illness. Belief was that the hair sapped strength from the body and
inhibited recovery. A child of any proper family would wear a bonnet
outside.

I tried to view the photos and other items on the site. I asked for password
