Westward Bound

America just doubled in size. Now someone has to go see what's out there.
The Tinder family opens Chapter Three of The American Journal and joins Lewis and Clark on the greatest expedition in American history - a journey across an uncharted continent from the Mississippi River to the Pacific Ocean.
They'll witness the Louisiana Purchase, meet Sacagawea, cross the Rocky Mountains, survive the Great Falls portage, and stand on the shore of the Pacific as Clark writes his famous misspelled words: "Ocian in view! O! the joy!"
But the story of the American West isn't all triumph. The family also witnesses the Trail of Tears - one of the darkest chapters in American history - and learns that loving your country means being honest about its failures as well as its victories.
Features in every chapter:
Celyn's Corner - An immigrant's perspective on the frontier spirit
Dad's Download - Connecting history to modern life
