Lewis & Clark: The Journey of the Corps of Discovery (1997)
Lewis & Clark: The Journey of the Corps of Discovery(1997) A stunning Ken Burns' PBS panorama of perhaps the most important exploration expedition in American history. A marvelous complement to Stephen Ambrose's recent tour de force. Essential antidote to Hollywood's The Far Horizons(1955), turgid historical garbage in which Charlton Heston is continually killing Indians and having expedition members killed. The actual fact is that only one expedition member died--from appendicitis.
