Lewis & Clark - The Journey of the Corps of Discovery

1997 · 1 season

A calm, stately documentary that immerses you in vast landscapes and quiet voices, making history feel personal and grand.

Created by: Ken Burns
Genres: Documentary, Western
Starring: John Logan Allen, Stephen E. Ambrose, Gerard Baker

Overview: Lewis & Clark: The Journey of the Corps of Discovery tells the remarkable story of the entire Corps of Discovery – not just of the two Captains, but the young army men, French-Canadian boatmen, Clark’s African-American slave, and the Shoshone woman named Sacajawea, who brought along her infant son. As important to the story as these many characters, however, was the spectacular land itself, and the promises it held.
