Two hundred years ago, Lewis & Clark's Corp of Discovery traveled through the Pacific Northwest on their way to the mouth of the Columbia River.

Since then, their journey has taken on epic proportions, with volumes of books, movies, and even radio programs produced about the trip.

This week, we explore how various groups are approaching the bicentennial, what messages they hope to get across, and how the Corp of Discovery ultimately influenced life in the western United States.

Host: Christy George

Guests: David Sarasohn, author of "Waiting for Lewis & Clark: The Bicentennial and the Changing West", associate editor/columnist for The Oregonian, and recipient of the 2002 Pulliam Fellowship for Editorial Writers.
