The Lewis & Clark Expedition: Canoeing the Mountains (S4, E3)

In Episode 3, we will explore some of the greatest struggles of the Lewis & Clark Expedition, and how the virtues of leadership, judgment, respect, ingenuity, communication, and compassion saw the men through obstacles we can scarcely imagine today.

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 Jamie Adams and edited by Scott Einig. Featuring the voice talents of 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 4, where the Corps break out of the mountains and encounter both friendly and hostile tribes, and set paddles to water once again - this time on the Columbia.
