Description:
When the explorers Lewis and Clark asked the Shoshone woman ì
Sacagawea and her husband, French trapper Toussaint Charbonneau, ì
to act as interpreters for their expedition, the couple brought ì
along their two-month-old son, Jean Baptiste. Over the course of ì
the two-year journey, baby Baptiste won the hearts of the rough ì
men of the corps. Captain Clark called him "my little dancing ì
boy." But the rest of the story of this intriguing young figure ì
has been largely untold--until now.
Sacagawea's Son: The Life of Jean Baptiste Charbonneau ì
tells the action-packed, sometimes poignant story of a boy born ì
to adventure. Baptiste's experiences with the Corps of Discovery ì
were only the beginning. Educated in St. Louis by Captain Clark, ì
he went on to live in a royal palace in Europe and to speak many ì
languages. But, truly his parents' son, he returned to the ì
American West, living out his life as a trapper, scout, and ì
explorer alongside the likes of Kit Carson, James Bridger, and ì
John Fremont. Readers ages ten and up will thrill to this lively ì
and fascinating account of the life of Jean Baptiste ì
Charbonneau--a child chosen by history.
(Includes California, Idaho, Iowa, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, ì
North Dakota, Oregon, South Dakota, Washington.)
