"Boundless Frontiers"

Stories and History told by locals 'on & off' the Lewis & Clark Trail
Hello. I am Marco Rixecker.
For two and a half months I traveled 'on & off' the Lewis & Clark Trail doing interviews with scholars and other people along that route. I also had most of them read excerpts from the famous "Journals of Lewis & Clark".
"Boundless Frontiers" is the audio - documentary containing answers and statements captured in these interviews as well as music that illustrates the mood of a particular location, sound illustrations reflecting natural impressions on the Lewis & Clark Trail, music from the time period of Lewis & Clark, and more excerpts of the "Journals of Lewis & Clark" read by American and Canadian actors and actresses.
"Boundless Frontiers" consists of three geographical parts :
the Lower Missouri Basin, from the mouth of the Missouri near Saint Louis, Missouri, and Wood River, Illinois, to near Sioux City, Iowa ; the Upper Missouri Basin, from near Vermillion, South Dakota, to the headwaters of the Missouri near Three Forks, Montana, and the Lolo Trail west of Missoula, Montana, between the states of Montana and Idaho ; the Pacific Northwest, from the end of the Lolo Trail near Lewiston, Idaho and Clarkston, Washington, to the site of Fort Clatsop, Oregon, where Lewis and Clark spent the winter of 1805 / 1806 before their trip back home.

I hope you enjoy listening to "Boundless Frontiers". The whole documentary is running as a series on the internet.
