Editorial Review:

Description:
'They forged their way across an untamed wilderness to explore the lands Thomas Jefferson had purchased for America. Their two-year expedition stands as one of the great stories in American history. In May of 1804, a party of 35 men set out from St. Louis, Missouri, bound for the unknown. Led by Merriweather Lewis and William Clark, the expedition would eventually make it all the way to the Pacific Ocean and back, mapping the vast new lands Thomas Jefferson had acquired, making contact with Native-American tribes and collecting samples of flora and fauna along the way. BIOGRAPHY; journeys back in time to follow the historic trek. Archival photos, period accounts and extensive use of their journals brings the trials and triumphs of Lewis & Clark's long trip to life, and revealing interviews with noted historians provide a glimpse at the men who led the epic journey. Sign up for a thrilling adventure into one of the most glorious chapters in America's history, and an in-depth portrait of two of the most famous explorers in history.'

- disappointing
I found A&E documentary on the Lewis & Clark voyage of discovery a weak effort, considering the technology and resources at their disposal. Although the naration does present many facts, the visuals are disappointing--too many black & white ore sepia toned images. The corps' contribution to botony and zoology of North America barely mentioned. After reading Ambrose's account of the journey I was expecting much more footage of the wildlife of the plains and mountains in the video. In fact the flora and fauna of the continent are hardly mentioned. The video does a good job of describing the Corps' relations with the Native American peoples and uses Catliln's images of the Plains Indian to illustrate this aspect of the voyage of discovery.
