A Film by Ken Burns - Lewis & Clark: The Journey of the Corps of Discovery (DVD, 2004)

My husband loves history and after seeing the series on Lewis & Clark, he was fascinated not only with the story, but with the work of Ken Burns. Truly exceptional.

The adventure of Lewis and Clark is awesome! This dvd is lengthy, but in order to tell the whole amazing story it needs to be. Not at all boring. Loved this dvd. BUY IT!!!!

If you like Ken Burn's Civil war series, this definitely is an apple that doesn't fall far from the tree. Burn's draws you in with the story beyond the facts like no other. To see the places where these things took place makes Lewis & Clarks choices and decisions feel that much more heroic. My kids were just learning about this and it solidified the story in their minds & was great for the whole family.

this was a presentaion that I have always been interested in and now own. The quality and historical information was presented in a way that would interest a history class as well as anyone who would want ot explore the past.

I saw part of the show, when it was on TV (PBS) So I really wanted to see the whole show. I enjoy history, lessons learned, not learned, and how things could have been completely different. Ken Burns, does a great job telling the human side of the story. The people making history. 4 hrs went pretty quickly. Scenery looks great in present time.

My daughter needed this movie for her history class and we were so happy to find it on ebay.
Thank you,

I caught the final few minutes of the film one Sunday afternoon on PBS. I was so captivated by the naration, photography, et al that I decided I must see the entire film. I found an ebay seller with a buy-it-now. The following weekend, I was watching and enjoying this fabulous adventure! The Lewis & Clark and the Corps of Discovery's fantastic pioneering journey across this glorious nation is must-see viewing for all. Ken Burns has "brought to life" the stunning achievements, challenges and accomplishments of early Americans and their spirit of discovery encompassed in the L & C expedition. 5 stars!!

To live in the northwest and not understand who discovered its greatness would be a mistake. Lewis and Clark truly did a great thing when they discovered a route to the northwest and then went back to share their maps and routes with others. Gold prospectors got to the Northwest territory because of Lewis and Clark. It would be interesting to see what would of happened if Lewis and Clark had not discovered a route to the Northwest. History tells us alot about the past having a impact on today. The DVD'S are accurate

Another excellent documentary by Ken Burns. Mr Burns is the Stephen Spielberg of documentary making. All of our schools should be using his works for teaching our children instead of Al Gores speculative dribble. If any body deserves and Academy Award it is Ken.

It was excelent viewing, I will watch it again.
then I will lwnd it to my parents. They, like I do, love history and learning about it. Watching programming of this quality makes learning and seeing easy. Thank You very much. If you have others like it, let me know.
