Since I am off all week, I decided to take a day trip along the Mississippi River with my Dad from Alma Wi. to Prarie DuChein Wi. Here is just a small portion of my video footage! It was a rather nice day to the north with a bit of haze, Down closer to LaCrosse Wi. The skies started to get overcast. My Father & I didn’t mind! He got out of his house for the day & I didn’t have to work! Ohh Yeah!!!!! All in all,….It was a great trip! The day went by way too fast! We met alot of very nice people along the way!

A one-minute visit to “Gateway Arch Tour” at Jefferson National Expansion Memorial in St. Louis, Missouri. To learn more, visit www.nps.gov/jeff. For books and DVDs, visit www.jnpa.com.
The Arch towers 630 feet above the Mississippi River and is a symbol of St. Louis’ role in the nations westward expansion. Under the Arch is the Museum of Westward Expansion where animated exhibits tell the story in the words of those whose lives shaped the American West, from the Louisiana Purchase to the closing of the frontier in 1890.
While the West was being settled, the issue of slavery was not. Here at the Old Courthouse, Dred Scott successfully sued for his freedom in 1850. Unfortunately, for millions of African-Americans, freedom wouldn’t come until after the American Civil War.
In 1948, Architect Eero Saarinen won a national contest held to determine the design of the memorial. Over 5,000 tons of steel were used to build the triangular shaped arch. The entire surface of the Arch is stainless steel plates.

ABOUT THE PARK Gateway Arch towers 630 feet above the Mississippi River and is a symbol of St. Louis’ role in the nations westward expansion. Under the Arch is the Museum of Westward Expansion where animated exhibits tell the story in the words of those whose lives shaped the American West, from the Louisiana Purchase to the closing of the frontier in 1890. It was from nearby Hartford, Illinois that the Lewis and Clark Expedition departed in 1804.

1950 Encyclopedia Britannica dramatization of the expedition made by Meriwether Lewis and William Clark to explore the land from the Mississippi River to the Pacific Coast.
Produced by Emerson Film Corporation
Public Domain Film
Note: Although Encyclopedia Britannica placed their name upon this film there are several historical inaccuracies. Captain Meriwether Lewis, Presidential-appointed leader of the Expedition, is relegated to a minor role while William Clark portrayed as the main commander. Some of this may be due to the fact that a Clark was the technical advisor. This film also has some mild stereotyping of race and gender typical of the period in which it was created.
You are watching part one of a two-part presentation on the fascinating history of the Lewis and Clark Expedition (Corps of Discovery).
