Part of the The Thinking Girl's Treasury of Real Princesses series
A young woman is thrust into history, guiding explorers across the American West.
Sacajawea's life changes in an instant when her tribe is attacked, and she is taken far from home. As she journeys from the mountains to the Pacific, she becomes an invaluable guide to Lewis and Clark. Her courage and resilience lead her through uncharted territories, shaping the course of history. Will she find her way back to her roots, or is her destiny forever altered by the path she now walks? Discover the incredible journey of a Shoshone woman who defied the odds and left an indelible mark on the American frontier.
One minute she was picking berries and the next her tribe was under attack. Running for her life, Sacajawea was scooped up and taken far away from her village and family—and into history. From her mountain home to the banks of the Missouri River, over the majestic Rockies to the pounding waves of the Pacific, Sacajawea would travel farther than any American woman of her time.
Richly illustrated and smartly narrated, this book brings to life the story of the real and remarkable Shoshone princess who helped Captains Lewis and Clark navigate their way across the American West.
