If you have ever considered traveling part of the Lewis and Clark Trail...
If you're interested in history, aviation or travel, or you just enjoy a
good adventure from the comfort of your favorite chair...
This book will allow you to board their green "canoe in the sky" and join
the adventurers on their journey.
Photographer/pilot Ron Lowery and writer/pilot Mary Walker share their
fascinating story retracing the Corps of Discovery's route from a flying green
"canoe in the sky."
Traveling low and slow, Ron and Mary flew above the same great rivers that Lewis
and Clark explored to capture incredible vistas from the air and celebrate the
200th Anniversary of the Corps of Discovery's odyssey across the continent. The
result is a top-quality photography and adventure book, Chasing Lewis and
Clark Across America: A 21st Century Aviation Adventure.
Using the rivers to guide them, the modern day adventurers crossed the
magnificent prairies and western mountains of America along a historic route
that is still endlessly fascinating.
The book contains more than 180 dramatic photographs of landscapes eroded
into living sculptures, magnificent bighorn sheep on steep canyon walls, herds
of buffalo grazing across golden plains, restored forts, and lush green fields
and magnificent rivers along Lewis and Clark's cross-country route.
When you climb into the cockpit with the authors of Chasing Lewis and Clark
Across America:
- You'll be airborne before dawn and witness spectacular sunrises over the
muddy Missouri River, the tumultuous Columbia River - all the way to the
majestic Pacific Ocean.
- You'll call on every ounce of your flying skills to navigate over the
rugged Rocky Mountains, the desolate Missouri Breaks and the windy Columbia
Gorge.
The Green Plane:
Traveling low and slow in Cloud Chaser, an experimental aircraft built
by Lowery and his son, the adventurers cross the prairies, rivers and western
mountains of America along a historic route that endlessly fascinates - a trip
into the "Great Unknown" as noted on Thomas Jefferson's map.
The Stunning Photographs:
The book contains more than 180 dramatic photographs of landscapes eroded into
living sculptures. From the muddy Missouri River to the tumultuous Columbia
River, Chasing Lewis and Clark depicts breathtaking scenes of ten
rivers and their valleys, of high plains decorated with bright yellow canola, of
treacherous Rocky Mountains and glacier-topped Cascades.
Personalized notes from the pilot/photographer's journals provide glimpses into
the challenging photo techniques as he perfects the lighting and angles. Listen
as a writer interacts with Native Americans, ranchers, farmers, aviators, park
rangers and historians reenacting events from yesteryear to recount an engaging
story and preserve a new segment of American history.
