Description: This carefully researched historical account separates the ì verifiable facts about Sacagawea from the extensive legend. It ì provides a readable, credible account of Sacagawea coping with ì the incredible hazards of the journey, caring fo her child, ì dealing with her half-breed husband, and aiding the expedition ì with her survival knowledge, pluck, and constancy.

The authors have unearthed new documentary evidence which ì enables them to trace Sacagawea's later life until her death, and ì to locate her burial spot. They also tell how the Sacagawea ì legend was deliberately created, and show how it became so widely ì accepted. Nontheless, this is not a "debunking" study. Sacagawea, ì seen in the light of accurate history rather than legend, remains ì an intriguing and inspiring figure in our past.
