The fascinating story Sacagawea, a young Native American mother who became entrenched in American history. Sacagawea was born into the Shoshone Lemhi tribe in 1788 and at the age of 12, kidnapped by another tribe where she was kept as a slave. At the age of 16, she was forced to marry a violent French-Canadian fur trader who won her in a bet. It was then she met Lewis and Clark when they hired her husband to act as their guide for the remainder of their Louisiana Territory expedition to the Pacific coast. Sacagawea would accompany the team, with her 2-month-old son strapped to her back, to serve as their translator. The biography chronicles historical facts and speculated accounts of her role in the expedition, and her later years, from the conflicting details of her death to how she is now viewed as the face of female strength and courage. Contextual side stories offer further perspective on key details, locations, and people referenced in Sacagawea's story. Archival photographs, drawings, and paintings are chronologically arranged, adding visual context to her compelling story.
