Rating: Summary: disappointing Review: I found A&E documentary on the Lewis & Clark voyage of discovery a weak effort, considering the technology and resources at their disposal. Although the naration does present many facts, the visuals are disappointing--too many black & white ore sepia toned images. The corps' contribution to botony and zoology of North America barely mentioned. After reading Ambrose's account of the journey I was expecting much more footage of the wildlife of the plains and mountains in the video. In fact the flora and fauna of the continent are hardly mentioned. The video does a good job of describing the Corps' relations with the Native American peoples and uses Catliln's images of the Plains Indian to illustrate this aspect of the voyage of discovery.
