When Lewis and Clark returned from their famous transcontinental journey, they reported a vast land filled with beavers and other furs. This attracted a unique group of Mountain Men who in their pursuit of fur riches crisscrossed the west, opening new pathways for future pioneers. Lewes resident and pilot, Dorian De Maio, who previously presented his exploration of the Lewis and Clark Trail, once again uses his airplane to follow the travels of the Mountain Men. He tells of the wild and dangerous lives and times of the Mountain Men as portrayed in the movie, ‘The Revenant’. Come and see where history was made!
