In 1803 Meriwether Lewis was appointed by President Thomas Jefferson to explore the area that had recently been purchased by the United States. On May 22, 1804, the Corps of Discovery left St. Louis, Missouri. From The Journals of Lewis and Clark takes its listeners along on that journey, one of the most fascinating stories in the history of our country. The narration is taken from President Jefferson's instructions to Captain Lewis.

"The object of your mission is to explore the Missouri River... in all your interaction with the natives, treat them in the most friendly manner..." - Thomas Jefferson

Close your eyes and you'll experience the lively sounds of Cruzatte's Fiddle around the campfire; the Scalp Dance of the Teton Sioux; a soothing Lullaby for Jean Baptiste , son of Sacagawea and Charbonneau; the wonder as members of the expedition first hear A Roaring Too Tremendious at the great falls of the Missouri and more!
