Lewis & Clark: The Journey of the Corps of Discovery (1997)

Available on DVD

This Ken Burns documentary is a classic, blending

history and remarkable scenery together in two disks. Burns accurately traces the Corps of Discovery as they manufacture their way across the uncharted wilderness of the western United States to the Pacific coast and back, subsequent to President Jefferson’s purchase of the Louisiana Territory from France in 1803. Burns’ sources include the journals of the men who participated in the expedition, and interviews of historians, authors and native Americans with knowledge of that remarkable exploration.
