GOSSAMER BOOKS COMMEMORATES 200TH ANNIVERSARY OF the LEWIS & CLARK
EXPEDITION
Educational graphic novel on the adventures of Lewis & Clark to be
released in April 2005
Gossamer Books LLC announces the launch of their next educational
graphic novel, "Pacific Bound: The Adventures of Lewis & Clark"
(ISBN 0-9742502-5-2) in April 2005 to commemorate the 200th anniversary
of the Lewis & Clark expedition. With the educational graphic novel
genre increasingly getting accepted as a supplement to children's
literature, Pacific Bound!, written by Lauri Olsen, takes this genre to
create the story of Lewis & Clark expedition to the Pacific Ocean. The
aim of the expedition was to find a direct water route across the North
American continent and to map and do***ent scientific studies of the
unknown lands of the west.
Pacific Bound! follows the story of Corps of Discovery led by
Merewether Lewis and William Clark along with his faithful dog Seaman
over the next two years. During this period, the Corps of Discovery
travel thousands of miles, experience new lands, rivers and people. The
production team took two years of exhaustive research and planning to
create the meticulously crafted landscape illustrations and a
historically accurate story.
The novel is carefully mapped to the U.S. Department of Education's
national standards for teaching U.S. History. It is painstakingly
researched to create an accurate account of the events and incidents as
they occurred in history to generate interest of grade-schoolers in key
historical themes specified by national and state educational
guidelines. It can be a useful resource for librarians and K-12
educational levels.
Gossamer Books has also released some highly interactive and educative
lesson plans based on the Lewis & Clark expedition that can be
downloaded free of cost from their official website
