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.
