With our 19th pick, Vic Mackey and the Strike Team are proud to select in the EDUCATIONAL slot, Ken Burns' made for TV documentary masterpiece Lewis & Clark: The Journey of the Corps of Discovery.

4 hours of pure history presented in a very beautiful film. Very few major historical events in American History are as well documented as this journey. As a result, Burns was able to present the facts as you are looking at the spots on which they became facts. For a geography geek like myself, this is grand. Yeah, I'm one of those guys who'd like to take the trip that these guys took, even though I have been many of the same places along the Marias River and the Yellowstone....at the Three Forks of the Missouri and Lolo Pass. Still, it would be exciting, at least for me, to follow in their footsteps and try to imagine the wonder of seeing some of the things they saw for the first time. This film, does as good a job of that as can be done without actually taking the journey yourself. Highly recommended!
