Review: A True Experience For The Whole Family... - This Lewis and Clark documentary is the very finest I have ever come across on the fascinating trek of these two explorers. Even for people like myself that have a deep interest in American history, particularly the old west, it is a perilous and well documented journey that so few people seem to know anything about, beyond the name of it. And yet it is in my opinion a journey inside American history in its rawest, truest form. This documentary does a wonderful job of presenting the L@C expedition in what I refer to as its natural habitat. That is to say, there is very little, if anything, in it that is conjecture, politicized, whitewashed, or just plain ridiculous. (Believe me, I have seen many documentaries on the opening of the west that were). The L@C expedition remains something that was realized decades before the west as we know it from movies and television ever came into existence. And thus for many, it will be something of a journey into a time in our history where they have never set foot before. For far too many of us, even history buffs, American history seems to take some time off, or just skip over a few decades between the revolution, and the Civil War. Like nothing really much in the way of interest or historical significance took place during that time worth mentioning. One statistic that comes out very near the beginning of this documentary that brought a snapshot of US at that time into crystal clear focus, is that in 1804, when L@C began their expedition, a full 80% of all the people that inhabited the US lived within 100 miles of the east coast. (Taking into account the population of Indians that we knew about as well). Very few people realize how not only concentrated the population was then, but how much of the vast country remained uninhabited, and unexplored. This documentary is done in a patient, sweeping, lavish style covering everything from the very essence of the idea of such an expedition by then president Thomas Jefferson, to the aftermath, and ultimate fate of L@C themselves. It is a documentary you will watch, and then watch again perhaps years later. But definitely will you watch it again and again. I would be less than honest if I was to suggest that this is the best documentary on the subject that exists. For truthfully, there is just so few of them available that I have only watched two others. desertcart carries a hefty amount of DVDs on the subject, but only two that consist of a total recounting of the expedition specifically, and in its entirety. (There is one more, but it is a mere 46 minutes long. Hardly enough time to recount a 2 year expedition of discovery) The others are: National Geographic - Lewis & Clark - Great Journey West and "The Trail" Lewis & Clark Expedition 1803-1806 . I have seen them both, and neither compares to the depth and perception of this wonderful and fulfilling documentary. Both of them put together are barely half as long as this one. Whether you are someone that has an interest in the early years of our country and its exploration, or if you are a person that has never even heard of L@C before, I highly recommend this documentary for owning. It is fascinating, brilliant, consummate, and overall a true masterpiece worth your time and money. It is not easy at all to find in stores, so I also highly recommend you buy it here...
Review: Makes One Feel Like They are There - Wonderful DVD ON THE LEWIS & CLARK EXPEDITION. You will vicariously get to go along with the corps of discovery and experience the adventure with them.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Wow - You Think You Know
*by G***R on January 18, 2013*

Every school kid has heard of the Lewis & Clark expedition, and some of us even thought we knew the details, but all I can say is Wow, Ken Burns has finally done for Lewis & Clark what needed doing; he's brought one of the greatest accomplishments in U.S. history to life, and turned all they and their party survived into more than a dusty, if somewhat interesting feat presented as a chapter in a history book, turning it all into a real-life adventure, with insights and personal views of many of the expedition, with all the perils and thrills and fears and everything a good adventure film would offer and so few documentaries can . Back when our nation hadn't quite been able to stand on its own; back when Thomas Jefferson was our president; before the war or 1812 and the Star-Spangled-Banner was written; there was the shadowy legend of the north-west passage, a water route to the Pacific ocean through lands no European-white (or black) man had ever seen. We didn't even know about the Rocky Mountains, let alone the Cascades. All we knew, or thought we knew, was the head-waters of the Missouri River would show us the route to the Pacific. Jefferson made the Louisiana Purchase of lands from the Gulf north and west into the unknown, and those lands had to be explored and charted. An expedition was sent by President Jefferson into these unknown lands as strange to us back then as the moon or Mars is to us, today. Yet, while the Apollo astronauts had communications with the friendly folks at NASA, this rustic party of explorers were on their own. Equipped with all the state-of-the-art equipment of the day, there were no camera'd rovers to show them what they faced and only vague stories passed on by trappers and Indians as to what may be found. But they assembled their team and set out not knowing whether they would survive, some saying their chances were nil and they'd never return. Yet they succeeded! What a story; what an adventure!
