Lewis and Clark Part 1 of 2

[NERevolutioner]

pause the video, then play and hit 4 (creepy laugh lol)

Charbonneau is played by John Crawford, who is best remembered as the sheriff on "The Waltons". He brought a lot of fun and creativity to everything he did. Love the French accent, John! You made my day!

rofl they should've put this in an mst3k episode...

[cavesloth]

hahaa the washington scene is the best, actually hillarious they make him look like such a berk.

0:33.......a black and desolate void?? nope, it was rough, but the land was filled with life! .....now, of course, after being mauled repeatedly by unrestrained ranchers and miners etc, the west is a bit desolate now. one almost wishes Lewis and Clark had just quit and become prosperous educaters in some university back east. all the buffalo would still be out there on the plains.

Ranchers mauled the land???

I don't think the west exported any food anywhere. Now it is a massive breadbasket

[pajiad191]

@CandelarioGaIvan

Yes, ranchers mauled the land. The grazing of animals such as sheep and cows has destroyed countless alpine pastures and fields as attested to by the great naturalist John Muir. He called such animals "hooved locusts" because of their insatiable appetite for green vegetation. Furthermore, the dividing of land through fencing and ownerhip as a result of the ownership of large ranches has turned the American west into a pie of private land with a highway right through.

In other words the "lands" ability to produce was multiplied.

[pajiad191]

We have reached a difference of opinion, I believe that using the American West as a whore to be raped for her land and foodstuffs to feed a nation of obese degenerates is a sin that will be repaid in sorrow and regret. You believe that destroying the rivers, earth and plains of North America is a small price to pay if food and nominal prosperity can be ravenously consumed by ignorant gluttons. So I suppose that, in our own minds, we can both be right.

[CandelarioGaIvan]

To start with land cant be raped. Nor can a hungry kid be feed by nice land scape.

Personally i love the woods, but people come first

[pajiad191]

@CandelarioGaIvan

Land can be raped in the same sense that ones asshole can "burn" after a hearty Mexican feast has been consumed and digested. Of course there is no actual forcible penetration of the earth by one's penis, just as flames do not lick the rectum of those who enjoy an enchilada every so often. There are 7 billion people humans on earth who are increasing more rapidly than any other species in the history of the earth...there is only one Yellowstone and it cannot reproduce.

[CandelarioGaIvan]

pajiad191

Rape of the land is used as a metaphor and a poor one at that.

While I agree Yellowstone is wonderful. I will never take any park on the earth over a small black child in Africa who is starving to death.

[pajiad191]

@acerb45666555 lets start an american regressionirt party in which we lead a revolt against the technological rape of the American wilds and inspire a return to deeper understanding of the natural world. I'll be the leader and you can be the vice president....get back to me

[TorontoEd7]

This is pretty bad, although i do appreciate the posting. I recently ordered Ken Burns version of their journey and cant wait to get it.

[kabssxo]

ahah at the french accent

[GeneralAmeli0]

btw, did sacagawea's husband really abuse her? or just movie drama?

[ctconaway]

sacagawea was basically a slave.  her husband purcharsed her from a rival tribe that kidnapped her in battle (a common occurance.) indian women in the west were treated like property quite often in the region L&C explored.

[GeneralAmeli0]

ahh I see, that's not cool.

[GeneralAmeli0]

Nice. I love movies from the 1950's

[MartzcResearch]

[lakesftbal015]

[dudarambo]

that's funny, he didn't let Clark or Lewis handle his "Mammoth bone"...

[Shortchecker]

Dude with Your gay heart on fire, smoke is in Your eyes.....He only showed it to Lewis. I am more concerned with the bathtub scene in part 2

[killbot44]

Interesting to see this after reading a book on Lewis & Clark (by Stephen Ambrose)...but some of the acting and accents are just awful! Notice you only see them in cabins (ie a cheap studio)

[gegi66]
