Chapter #01 'Jefferson's Dream' introduces the listeners to the main players in the dramas to unfold over the following thirteen weeks. Captains Meriwether Lewis and William Clark are introduced, as is the huge mongrel that would accompany them for most of their journey. Called 'Shannon' in the Horizons West production, the dog's actual name has since been determined to be 'Seaman'. Sergeants Ordway and Gass are added to the Corps of Discovery's complement of military explorers.
