Description:

This course will research and create interpretive pieces on visitor sites from the travels of Meriwether Lewis, William Clark, and the Corps of Discovery from its inception with Thomas Jefferson through its travels from 1803 to 1806. Elements will focus on the conflicting perspectives of Turnerian "Frontier" theory and New Western historical theory as well as the greater elements of change in the West including the progression of native populations, American expansion, environmental issues, cultural viewpoints, and the elements leading to current conditions. Classes will be conducted through a combination of lectures and discussions. From these concentrated sessions, students will then research selected visitor facilities across the United States and create interpretive narrative content on each for the Next Exit History™ database. Offered concurrently with AMH 4153; graduate students will be assigned additional work.
