Course detail: The Adventures of Lewis & Clark
We'll relive one of the most spectacular journeys in American history, the Lewis and Clark "Corps of Discovery" expedition to explore the Louisiana Purchase and find a route to the Pacific Ocean. This exciting human drama, which lasted from 1804 to 1806, began in St. Louis, reached the Pacific Northwest and then returned, adding to our knowledge of the regions while generating stories and adventures. We'll see clips from the Ken Burns PBS video, hear music played during or inspired by the trip, read brief commentaries of trip participants and observers, and learn about the instructor's trip along part of the trail.
Instructor Bio: Carl Graves, Ph.D., holds a master's degree in U.S. history from KU and a doctorate from Harvard. He taught at the university and community college levels, and at Kansas City's Pembroke Hill School.
