"Meriwether
Lewis was just 28 years old and he was about to embark on a voyage
of the greatest magnitude. Did he understand? Did he realize? That
his mission of exploration would one day rate beside that of Captain
Cook and even Magellan?"
Conrad,
Modern Day Explorer
Lewis and
Clark: A Bicentennial of Discovery lets you and your audience
follow in their
footsteps -- from
Monticello, all the way to the shining Pacific Ocean.
Two hundred years ago President
Jefferson sent Meriwether Lewis and William Clark out to discover the
Great Unknown West and changed America forever. Their courage and
tenacity continue to stir our passions, our dreams, and our faith in
the American Spirit.
Scenes include: A hostile
encounter with the Teton Sioux. Facing the Great Unknown.
Sacagawea, the courageous Shoshoni woman who rescued the explorers
several times.
Clark's slave, York, and the
Mandan Indians' fascination with the color of his skin. Grizzly
attack! The most difficult part of the entire journey, crossing
the "terrible, beautiful" Bitterroot Mountains.
Lewis and Clark: A Bicentennial
of Discovery has
been written with great respect for Jefferson's dream with an eye on
its impact on Native peoples and resulting US policies. Careful
attention has been paid to the many complexities and nuances of this
legendary journey, making it a catalyst to further discussion.
