Lewis and Clark Part 2 of 2

1950 Encyclopedia Britannica dramatization of the expedition made by Meriwether Lewis and William Clark to explore the land from the Mississippi River to the Pacific Coast.

Produced by Emerson Film Corporation
Public Domain Film

Note: Although Encyclopedia Britannica placed their name upon this film there are several historical inaccuracies. Captain Meriwether Lewis, Presidential-appointed leader of the Expedition, is relegated to a minor role while William Clark portrayed as the main commander. Some of this may be due to the fact that a Clark was the technical advisor. This film also has some mild stereotyping of race and gender typical of the period in which it was created.

You are watching part two of a two-part presentation.

I LOVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH LEW&CLARK

[GeneralAmeli0]

Me too. Whenever I'm hiking in the 'wilderness' I think about them at least once, and what an adventure it must have been when the West was truly wild.

The Lewis and Clark Expedition is one of the few things in history that I learned in school. Of course, I also learned when Columbus discovered America.

John Crawford is hilarious as Charbonneau, with that phony French accent! He could make anything funny!

[baroquemusician1]

Poor Merne! He should have left his government job that he got when this was over and became a mountain man for the rest of his days. It's a curiosity why he didn't. Maybe some of you better history buffs know?
