Lewis and Clark
During my visit to the U.S.S Lexington. I had the chance to watch a National Geographic movie of the famous American explorers Lewis and Clark. This movie is an excellent movie to watch.
Here is a link to watch a small piece of the movie. http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-2616490352424854728#
Here is some backgound history of Lewis and Clark.
The Lewis and Clark Expedition (1804–1806) was the first overland expedition undertaken by the United States to the Pacific coast and back. The expedition team was headed by Meriwether Lewis and William Clark and assisted by Sacajawea and Toussaint Charbonneau. The expedition's goal was to gain an accurate sense of the resources being exchanged in the Louisiana Purchase. The expedition laid much of the groundwork for the westward expansion of the United States.
