Description
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 — a beautiful spear of a dying nation.
She knew many men and 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 overflows 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 it always lay beyond the next mountain.
