The Lewis and Clark Expedition (Part 3): Montana (1805)

The journey of Lewis and Clark to the Pacific (and back home) is one of America's most iconic stories. Frankly, not one of them should've survived this trip...but they did...all but one (and he died of causes unrelated to the expedition). It's a journey of grit, hardship, failure, joy, and triumph. In this third session, travel with the Corps of Discovery from the Mandan Villages, ND to the Bitterroot Mountains of western Montana in their second full season (1805). Along the way, the party will battle grizzlies, mosquitoes, wind, hail, heat and cold as they cross some of the majestic and beautiful territory in Big Sky Country. This Corps of 33 persons (including Sacagawea and her months old baby boy "Pomp") will navigate the Missouri River through the "breaks" and the "Gates of the Mountains" to the "Three Rivers" (portaging five "great falls" at one point). They'll find horses (and a surprise) when they meet Sacagawea's native Shoshone. And they cross the steep and perilous Bitterroot mountains through Lolo Pass to find friendship with the Nez Perce. It's an amazing, epic tale! Dr. Rick Chromey is a Lewis and Clark historian and guest speaker for American Cruise Lines on the Columbia/Snake rivers of the Pacific Northwest. He also speaks to schools, community clubs and other interested organizations about Lewis and Clark and Oregon Trail history. For more information: www.rickchromey.com
