Binding: paperback
In the saga of early western exploration a young Shoshoni
Indian girl named Sacajawea is famed as a guide and interpreter
for the Lewis and Clark Expedition to the Far Northwest between
1804 and 1806. Her fame rests upon her contributions to the
expedition. In guiding them through the wilderness, in gathering
wild foods, and, above all, in serving as an ambassadress to
Indian tribes along the way she helped to assure the success of
the expedition.
This book retraces Sacajawea's path across the Northwest, from
the Mandan Indian villages in present-day South Dakota to the
Pacific Ocean, and back. On the journey Sacajawea was accompanied
by her ne'er-do-well French-Canadian husband, Toussaint
Charboneau, and her infant son, Baptiste, who became a favorite
of the members of the expedition, especially Captain William
Clark.
The author presents a colorful account of Sacajawea's journeys
with Lewis and Clark and an objective evaluation of the
controversial accounts of her later years.
