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.
"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,
