Sacagawea Tim Cooke

Sacagawea's critical role in the Lewis and Clark Expedition of 1804 to 1806 is irrefutable. Without her, the Corps of Discovery's exploration of the newly acquired western territory might not have been successful. However, her life before that celebrated journey is just as absorbing. This volume, with a colorful design, fun fact boxes, and historical artwork, tells the intriguing story of this Shoshone woman, including such life-changing events as her kidnapping at a young age and marriage to a French fur trapper. Readers will undoubtedly admire this woman as they learn of her courageous acts and of the Native American cultures to which she belonged.
