Фильм және анимация
Join us for a dynamic exploration of The Lewis and Clark Expedition, one of America’s boldest endeavors. Mark Jordan will examine crucial moments along this epic journey of the uncharted West in his presentation The Lewis and Clark Expedition: Key Decision Points
Leading a group of U.S. Army volunteers, a slave, a teenage girl and her baby, and a remarkably skilled French-Indian scout, Captains Meriwether Lewis and William Clark set off from Missouri in May of 1804 on a mission to explore the Northwest from the Mississippi River to the Pacific Ocean. The group traveled up the Missouri River and crossed the Continental Divide before eventually reaching the Pacific Ocean. After a winter near Astoria, Oregon, they returned to St. Louis after two years and four months and many legendary adventures
A long-time Walnut Creek resident, Jordan is an experienced actor, teacher, and avid Lewis and Clark buff. He has traveled most of the Lewis and Clark Trail, by car, in a canoe, and on foot. He has written articles on this historic expedition, and has lectured at the Lewis and Clark Trail Heritage Foundation’s annual meeting. He recently taught on this subject at the Osher Life Long Learning Institute at Cal State East Bay.

I listened to the ENTIRE lecture. Been studying a lot about Lewis and Clark since coming back from my weekend vacation to St. Louis and visiting the Gateway Arch and museum. A lot of history there. Thanks for this posting.
He is an amazing reader/guider! Made me laugh out loud at times
Absolutely a FANTASTIC lecture!! So many things not normally shown in average documentaries of this expedition! Enjoyed him reading the text slides that showed their actual spellings :) Thanks for posting this. I put it on my facebook page for others to check out! Great job!

York got to lay lots of pipe that winter with the promiscuous tribe (Mandans). That was a pretty good unexpected reward… They thought he was part bear due to his skin color and they revered bears and wanted his power in their offspring.
Most. Of. It
Good
Just. To. No. I’m. Sorry. You. Have. No. Comments. I. Love. How. You. Told

He lost me at hello. The "small government" statement at the beginning was idiotic.
