Exceptional documentary
I am thoroughly enjoying this documentary history of the Lewis and Clark expedition. The photography is beautiful; the narrative is perfect: gripping,informative, and enlightening. I have not been disappointed a single moment. Only superlatives come to mind. Another remarkable Ken Burns achievement.

Simply.....incredible
Ever since I watched this program on PBS a few years back, it has haunted my dreams and I can't stop thinking about it! If only kids in school today could learn about this voyage the way it really happened (or other historical events the way this is done), we'd have alot more kids interested in getting educated, period. I am so greatful for people like Burns who teach history the way it should be taught, and only regret that I only knew the watered down version they teach in grade school.

I cannot wait to buy myself this for Christmas!

Get and watch it.....you will love it.

Worth the view!
An incredible visual experience to document an amazing historical event. You will feel like you were there with the Corps of Discovery at every turn of their adventure.

Visual support to the Lewis & Clark expedition
An excellent companion almost essential to to the Lewis & Clark journals and other books on the Journey of the Corps of Discovery.

Ken Burns is the best
As someone who's working on a novel about western 19th century America, this documentary is amazing. The questions it leaves us with are one's of wonder--how did they survive? They traipsed across the country in a boat, in horseback, and by foot. And back. They survived weather at -38 degrees; climbed mountains only to find more mountains, traversed deserts only to find more deserts. And through it all only two people died. In this day of GPS systems, luxury cars, cell phones, and motor homes that are motels on wheels, we can only view Lewis and Clark's journey as one of toughness, grit, and faith not found today. Ken Burns captures it all.
