Complete Record: Through the creative use of maps, portraits, authentic newspaper commentaries, and speech excerpts, this film effectively re-creates the events that led up to the Louisiana Purchase in 1803. Explores the roles of both Spain and France in the New World during the early 1800's, the importance of the Mississippi River to the American farmer, and the constitutional questions which arose from the treaty.
