Twenty thousand roads : women, movement, and the West por Virginia Scharff

The two chapters of interest to us are the chapter on Sacagawea and one on Grace Raymond Hebard, an early and controversial biographer of Sacagawea. Scharff traces the politics behind the historical writings on Sacagawea.

The Women Jefferson Loved. [Thomas Jefferson… por Virginia Scharff

Wonderful study of all the women intimately associated with Thomas Jefferson. The analysis of the genealogical, personal and political intertwining of the Jefferson lineage with the growth of Virginia and the United States as a whole was fascinating.

The Women Jefferson Loved por Virginia Scharff

A dry, but factual account of some people in Thomas Jefferson's life. It's well researched and thorough while focusing on five women who knew and loved Jefferson. Not a page turner but certainly illuminating--the author is good at facts and doesn't stray from her opinions...defends them well, too. 40% of the book is footnotes and factual artifacts...written by an academic
