Patrick Garner casts your audience in the roles of Lewis & Clark's "Corps of Discovery" to illustrate the mission to explore the newly-acquired Louisiana Purchase. The Corps is led by Captains Meriwether Lewis and William Clark. Students learn of history's unsung hero, Clark's slave York. Resourceful Sacagawea proves herself a role model for every generation. (Did you remember she made the entire trek carrying her newborn son, Pompey?) Her ne'er-do-well husband, Toussaint Charbonneau. Ill-fated Sergeant Floyd. Accident-prone Pierre Cruzatte. Last minute savior, ancient Nez Pierce Watkuweis. Even Lewis' Newfoundland dog, Seaman!
