It has been called the greatest
expedition in American history, perhaps
it was also the most dangerous.
At the time the outside world had never
seen the Western two-thirds of the North
American continent.
Two men, Meriwether Lewis and William
Clark were chosen to lead the first U.S.
expedition all the way to the Pacific. To
catalog for science, the nature of the
new land, to discover a waterway across
it and to survive to tell of what they
had learned.
Among the hand-picked crew at their side
was a native woman who's named Sacagawea
would come to echo through American
history.
Their faith would lie in the hands of
great nations of people already living
in the West.
It was an adventure equivalent at the
time to a voyage to the moon.
Lewis & Clark's extraordinary exploits
would change forever the course of
history.
