Every adult participant received a copy of the #1 New York Times
Bestseller
by Stephen E. Ambrose:
Undaunted Courage.
(1996). New York: Touchstone Books/ Simon & Shuster.
This stirring account of the incredible journey has been our #1
reference
throughout the semester.
The bibliography and reference list offered by Ambrose, Undaunted
Courage, pp. 503-506 is daunting.
We purchased and utilized the 4-part Ken Burns video series from
PBS.
Lewis and Clark: The Journey
of the Corps of Discovery (1998).
Alexandria, VA: PBS video
We purchased and utilized the National Geographic video/ DVD
originally filmed in IMAX
Lewis and Clark: The Great
Journey West
One of the most thrilling events of our Lewis and
Clark WOW semesters has been viewing this film with the children and
pre-service teachers on the IMAX screen at the Museum of Westward
Expansion at the Jefferson National Expansion Memorial, St. Louis, MO.
As we are in the midst of the bicentennial years, many excellent
print materials
for young readers are becoming available.
Among the many trade books collected for our third graders, we found
Going Along with Lewis and
Clark
(2000) by Barbara Fifer engaging and easy to use.
B.Fifer has recently published a companion volume:
Meeting Natives with Lewis and
Clark (2004) Farcountry Press.
-- published by Montana Magazine Press. Lewis
and Clark for Kids (2000), by Janis Herbert, Chicago
Review Press is organized for immediate engagement of young children.
On April 30, 2002, Amazon.com listed 333 Lewis and Clark books.
Rethinking Columbus: the Next 500 Years.(1998). Milwaukee, WI: Rethinking Schools. In this unique and popular collection, Bill Bigelow and Bob Peterson, editors, help open teacher/learner minds to consider the irrevocable changes to Native American cultures caused by the westward expansion.
For authentic Native American resources, we recommend the books of Paul Goble and Russell Freedman. The Keepers of the Earth series offers well-told myths with science related activities. Cobblestone and Kids Discover magazines have several issues on topics related to the Expedition. Sierra, the magazine of the Sierra Club, May/June, 2002, is a themed issue with poster on "Lewis and Clark's America." The Living Museum, journal of the Illinois State Museum, Spring, 2002, has a feature article on Clark's maps. Smithsonian magazine, November, 2002, inserts a special program of museums and events throughout the U.S. ready for the bicentennial. An article in the August, 2002, issue details the later life of Wm.Clark. We are expecting the flood of current literature to continue throughout the bicentennial
