Books with title West to the Pacific

The classic story of Sacajawea for young readers in a new, illustrated edition.Seldom given the credit she deserves, Sacajawea is one of America's true heroines. Without her assistance as a guide and interpreter, the Lewis and Clark Expedition would never have crossed the Rockies and reached the Pacific Northwest - and the course of U.S. history would have been changed forever. 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.

In the early 1800s, the country was growing fast. Pioneers headed west to find homes. But the land was not empty--it was home to Native Americans who had lived there for centuries. Pioneers and Native Americans would soon come to conflict. Why were Texans told to "Remember the Alamo?" How did settlers travel west? What happened in 1848 that changed California forever?
