Sacagawea: Girl of the Shining Mountains

3.9/5 ( ratings)

At age eleven, Sacagawea was kidnapped by an enemy tribe, forced into slavery, and later married off to a fur trader more than twice her age. Now at sixteen, she's about to become an integral part of one of the greatest events in U.S. history--the journey of discovery led by Lewis and Clark. The only woman of the group, Sacagawea must face the same perils as the men--dangerous rapics, near-famine, mysterious illnesses, and hostile Indians. And she must care for her infant son, Pomp, who was born only two months before their journey began. But Sacagawea has another reason for wanting so desperately to take part in the mission. This is a chance, her only chance, to see her people, her family, her friends again. This is her story, not only as an eyewitness to Lewis and Clark's journey of discovery, but also as a young woman finally going home.
