Two
members of the Lewis and Clark Expedition are thrust
together against their wills. John Colter, an experienced
trapper and woodsman, is assigned by Captain Meriwether
Lewis to mentor George Shannon, the youngest,
least-seasoned member of the crew. Eventually enmity
turns to friendship as they discover a new country, new
loves and themselves. Go with the Corps of Discovery on
this audacious adventure, a feat more dramatic
than landing a man on the moon. |

A young Kumeyaay Indian
bride sees her life and dreams shattered when the
Spanish invade Southern California and employ rape,
torture, and enslavement of the indigenous people to
build a series of mission fortifications that bolster
the Spanish crown’s claims to California. A contrarian
view of contemporary history, “Mission” sets the
stage for the violent collision of two cultures. |
