Lewis & Clark

PRODUCT SUMMARY

In the early 1800s, President Thomas Jefferson chose Meriwether Lewis and William Clark to explore the land beyond the western boundaries of the United States. Their goals: to search for the elusive Northwest Passage through North America, to open communications with Indian nations, to claim and clarify new borders and territories, and to return with maps and detailed observations of the natural resources that they sighted along the way. Join our two young hosts, who speak with Lewis & Clark, as they tell the story of their journey to the Pacific Ocean and back. Hear about Sacagawea, the Shoshoni woman who played a large role in the expedition as an interpreter and guide. Part of the multivolume Explorers of the World DVD Series. A Teacher's Guide is included and available online.
