Learn what the Corps of Discover was up to 200 years ago today through a little history, a little context and a daily reading from the journals.
Our writer, Ed Jacobson, has been a Lewis & Clark afficionado for some years now, and has read not only the journals in their entiretly (really) but a number of other books and resources on the Expedition. Ed volunteers at the Pompeii's Pillar Interpretive Center just East of Billings, Montana.
We have actors reading the parts of Lewis (Russ Palmer) and Clark (Shawn Bettise) - they really bring the excertps from the journals to life. A third actor, Hal Hansen, serves as our very personable narrator and provides invaluable editorial assistance.
