Gossamer Books LLC Commemorates the 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 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: The Adventures of Lewis & Clark", written
by Lauri Olsen, takes this genre to narrate the story of
Lewis & Clark's expedition to the Pacific Ocean.
"Pacific
Bound: The Adventures of Lewis & Clark"
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 relevant 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. This book will be a useful resource for
librarians and teachers at 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
