Another fantastic film by Ken Burns.The man is an artist and genious-seriously.His eye for cinematogphy is remarkable.Watch the "Making of --" to see his devotion to near perfection. It is beautifully filmed and extremely informative.Ambrose's and Duncan's devotion to and love for history make these historical figures come to life.Their books on the subject are also outstanding and highly recommended! The Lewis and Clark Expedition is one the the most iconic and remarkable events in American history and this film brings it to life. You can spend these 4 hours only - or many more years - learning about the Corps of Dicovery.It was an amazing journey. I HIGHLY recommend this DVD
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!!
I have always been interested in American History and the exploration of the west. This Video done by Ken Burns is as excellent as all his others. Tells a great story of hardship and determination. I thoroughly enjoyed watching this one..

Wonderful study of the western movement and its impact on indigenous Americans (a story that is often lost in presenttions of history of USA). Original documents and commentary very informative. Magnificent landscape photography. Interesting ideas presented which are also very relevant to history of Australian Europeans taking of the land, the impact of invasion on Aboriginal Australians.

Journal entries very descriptive and discussion of these by narration was suitable. The task given these individuals was enormous and as usual, most humans will rise to daunting tasks if physically able. Good photograpy of the very difficult terrain they had to traverse backed everything up.
