The Westward Movement

Daniel Boone had a yearning to venture west, just as did explorers Meriwether Lewis and William Clark. This presentation is a rigorous travel westward, as experienced by those early adventurers, trappers, traders and settlers through a land devoid of roads or amenities we know today. Come nose-to-nose with the buffaloes, moose and bears. See Indians called to council, Sioux playing ball, and covered wagons along the Oregon Trail. Thrill at Thomas Moran's Grand Canyon, and gaze on the rugged Sierra Nevada Mountains. Be caught in a cattle drive stampede, see the action of Indian warfare, and ponder the perils of those young Pony Express riders.
