Review of The Far Horizons (1955) by William C — 25 Apr 2012
Inaccurate portrayal of Lewis and Clark. Expedition sets out and seems to hike to Pacific Ocean in a few months with no winters spent at Mandan nor Clatsop. Sacajawea is given no mention of her pregnancy nor birth to Pompey on the trip.
Many die in the film fighting Indians when in fact only one person on expedition died, and that was from appendicitis. As soon as expedition reached Pacific Ocean they are back in Washington D.C. giving their reports to President Jefferson when in fact neither men returned to nation's capital.
In fact Meriwether Lewis mysteriously died in Kentucky on his way alone to Washington D.C. Interesting how all the Indians spoke very good English with no accents!
