History of the United States Podcast Episode 75: Lewis and Clark Part 1
This took a long time to get to market! You can hear it in my intro where I talk about the end of the year! I was going to edit it out, but what the heck, goes to show that I do take my time on this, if a little too much. Anyway, in this episode of the podcast, we delve into the journey of Lewis and Clark, and a couple of other journeys into Louisiana besides. It was a fun one to do and I’m glad it’s finished. Of course, Lewis and Clark are just getting started!
