Elizabeth Batts: The tragic and lonely life of a sailing captian's wife
May 15, 2012
Rex Ziak is a writer and historian, known for his study on the early explorers. He is the author of several books including his most recent publication In Full View. After careful study of the Lewis and Clark expedition’s journals and of the geography of the Columbia River estuary, Ziak precisely delineated the final leg of the expedition’s approach to the Pacific Ocean. In 2004, Ziak testified before Congress in support of the Lewis and Clark National and State Historical Parks. The next year he published a fold-out map and guide to the route taken by the expedition. As a documentarian and cinematographer, his work under assignment from ABC Television received an Emmy in 1993.
