Sacagawea of the Lewis & Clark Expedition
Category: History: U.S.: Western: Biography
Author: Ella Clark & Margot Edmonds
Copyright/published Year: 1983 by Univ of Calif Press
ISBN: 0520050606
Binding: trade pap
This carefully researched historical account separates the
verifiable facts about Sacagawea from the extensive legend. It
provides a readable, credible account of Sacagawea coping with
the incredible hazards of the journey, caring fo her child,
dealing with her half-breed husband, and aiding the expedition
with her survival knowledge, pluck, and constancy.
The authors have unearthed new documentary evidence which enables them to trace Sacagawea's later life until her death, and to locate her burial spot. They also tell how the Sacagawea legend was deliberately created, and show how it became so widely accepted. Nontheless, this is not a "debunking" study. Sacagawea, seen in the light of accurate history rather than legend, remains an intriguing and inspiring figure in our past.
