Following Lewis and Clark’s expedition
to the Northwest and after Pike’s first expedition to the
headwaters of the Mississippi, Pike’s second Western expedition
through the Southwest began in 1806 to 1807.
“Zebulon Pike and the Blue Mountain”
focuses on the painful experience these men endured and sets their
story into the context of American history and Western exploration.
"Zebulon
Pike and the Blue Mountain" is the premier film production on
Pike's amazing exploits, and I have no doubt that it will remain
a standard in the future."

Traversing an uncharted region inhabited
by numerous Indian tribes and in the far Southwest,
the Spanish, Pike followed a tortuous route through
some of the West’s roughest country in the dead
of winter.
Almost two hundred years ago,
what began as the young
Lieutenant’s second grand adventure soon became
an ordeal of survival in the savage winter snows.
Photographed where it happened
with the advisement of experts on: Pike (W. Eugene Hollon,
author of “The Lost Pathfinder”), the military
(James Kochan, U.S. Army Historian for the period 1783
to 1830), Indian tribes and the era (National Archives
and the Smithsonian).
Narrated by Burgess Meredith
with music by Neil Argo and the Denver Symphony,
“Zebulon Pike and the Blue Mountain” is 1 hour in
length and sells for $24.95 plus shipping and handling.
