1 | Lewis and Clark: Meriwether Lewis and Wi | William R. Lighton |
Two of America's most legendary explorers start upon an adventure that made their names and marked the nation! In 1804 the two men departed St. Louis, Missouri, appointed and funded by President Jefferson and led by an expert group (including the famous Sacajawea).The expedition was considered a success from the get go... From the start, on the contrary; the expedition was filled with illness, bad luck, hostile Indians, Lewis's chronic depression, and - last but not least - the shocking surprise of the towering Rocky Mountains and the continental divide! Lewis and Clark made it to the Pacific in 1806, in spite of everything. Essential listening for fans of history and exploration. |
