SYNOPSIS: Following the American Revolution the country’s western border ended at the Missouri River. In 1803 President Jefferson charged his personal secretary, Meriwether Lewis, with gathering an expedition party and traveling inland across the unexplored wilderness of North America. Lewis and Clark took a perilous two and a half year journey of discovery from St. Louis to the Pacific Northwest. This is the story of the Lewis and Clark Expedition as it might be told by Monty Python.
