Books with title SACAJAWEA 6PK

Her name was Legend and the Legend was America. Clad in a doeskin, alone and unafraid, she stood straight and proud before the onrushing forces of America's destiny. Sacajawea: the beautiful child who sprang from the savage keep of a Shoshoni camp high in the Rockies, the lone woman on Lewis and Clark's historic trek. She knew many men, walked many miles. From the whispering prairies, across the Great Divide to the crystal-capped Rockies and on to the emerald promise of the Pacific Northwest, her story overflows with emotion and action ripped from the bursting fabric of a raw new land. Ten years in the writing, Sacajawea unfolds an immense canvas of people and events, and captures the eternal longings of a woman who always yearned for one great passion-and always it lay beyond the next mountain.

Captured by her enemies, married to a foreigner, and a mother at age sixteen, Sacajawea lived a life of turmoil and change. Then, in 1804, the mysterious young Shoshone woman met Meriwether Lewis and William Clark. Acting as interpreter, peacemaker, and guide, Sacajawea bravely embarked on an epic journey that altered history forever. Hear her extraordinary story, in the voices of Sacajawea and William Clark in alternating chapters, with selections from Clark’s original diaries. Includes a map of Lewis and Clark’s trail and an author’s note.
