In the Season 4 premier, we will explore the origins of the Lewis & Clark Expedition, the men at the center of it, and how, without the virtues of education, will, determination, mentorship - and above all, friendship - the expedition would never have happened.
Quotes from the expedition journal entries are cited throughout this episode. For listener clarity and narrative coherence, some of these quotes have been revised.
Hosted by Scott Einig and edited by Jamie Adams. Featuring the voice talents of Larry Einig as Thomas Jefferson, Ethan Thomas as Meriwether Lewis, Jared Thomas as William Clark, and Scott Einig as Patrick Gass. Special thanks to Larry Morris, author of The Fate of the Corps and In the Wake of Lewis & Clark, and Elin Woodger, author of Encyclopedia of the Lewis & Clark Expedition.
Tune in next time for Part 2, where the Corps of Discovery encounters raging waters, Indian tribes, unknown animals, and one of the harshest winters imaginable.
