Master Western storyteller Neta Frazier, author of The Stout-Hearted Seven: Orphaned on the Oregon Trail, tells the story of this courageous Shoshone woman from the time when she was kidnapped as a young girl by a Hidatsa war party, through her amazing journey with Lewis and Clark, and finally to the mystery surrounding her final years and death.
