It is so amazing. It takes you to to the world of Lewis and Clark. St. Louis is a booming town and the gateway to the west, but nobody has ever been to the west without being killed by savage Native Americans, most of the were nice though. Lewis and Clark go on a daring and brave journey all the way to the Coast of Oregon. I would have loved to be with them, but I wasn't born back then. I only wish that the app was about the Silk Road, not Lewis and Clark, given its name. This app is the best app I have used in my whole life (I've only used one other app and Siri) I hope to use apps from this developer soon. ## Frequently asked questions about Travel the Silk Road ### What is the learning methodology of Travel the Silk Road?
