I remember being touched by the story and learning so much about a great woman. (If I didn't have so many books on my "to read" list, I would read it again.) ( ) I loved the first half of this book, the fictional account of Sacajawea's part in the Lewis & Clark expedition. It's a tremendous saga. The second half is more speculative, less exciting, but the first half is worth five stars. I later read a historical account of the expedition by Steven Ambrose, "Undaunted Courage," which was more about Lewis and Clark and less about Sacajawea. It gave me another picture of what the expedition was like. All in all, a fascinating subject. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

Clad in a doeskin, alone and unafraid, she stood straight and proud before the onrushing forces of America's destiny: Sacajawea, child of a Shoshoni chief, lone woman on Lewis and Clark's historic trek -- beautiful spear of a dying nation. 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 over flows 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.
