Media

Welcome to the Media Page. It contains media kit materials; old issues of the Proceeding On newsletter; and various reviews of the book and interviews.  I will also be including articles of significant interest.  In other words, this is the "attic" of the website. If there is something else that you would like to see on this page, please send an email to kira@lewisandclarktravel.com
In June, 2007 I will be creating more press releases to incorporate into a media kit.
