Accuracy issues aside these are really nice figures. For further interest check out "tailor made, trail worn". This would have been a valuable reference for the sculptor. ~Gary

Beautiful figures of a very interesting subject : the men who opened "the West" when it was still very wild. They boldly went where no-one ever went before.
I just love reading the diary they left - how they discovered new animals and birds etc. (some birds were named after them, "Clark's nutcracker" and "Lewis' woodpecker"), one thing that is etched in my mind is their description of huge California Condors soaring over the mighty Columbia river - it is hard to imagine the natural beauty these men must have seen with their own eyes ...

Great figures, great subject, 10/10 for La meridiana.
 
Hey johan !
I've got a book about them too. Great period. In some parcs (like yellowstone) you can still feel the wildness a little bit.

Hey there Johan, well I have felt the wildness overhere too, on some particularly rough saturday nights downtown.

Seriously ;-) of course a visit to the Rocky Mountains should be on everybody's list of things to do - it is on my list anyway !
