Would love to read more
DeKeyser did a wonderful job in bringing Sacagawea to life. If I'd read this book as a middle grade student, I'd be on the hunt for more reading about Sacagawea and the Lewis and Clark Expedition. An excellent book for presenting the facts while feeding the imagination and firing up the love of learning.

From how the white men misunderstood the hand sign which described her tribal name, to how the First People spoke to each other.

Winfred Blevins

Jameson Books (IL), 1985

Excellent Fur Trade Era Novel
This book is a fictional biography of Jean Baptiste Charbonneau, the son of Sacagawea and Toussaint Charbonneau. Very little is known of Jean Baptiste but Blevins imaginatively builds his novel around the small historical record. His characterization is plausible and enjoyable to read. It contains many vignettes that relate to events in the Fur Trade Era so interest is maintained. It is ...

LOVE IT!!!! I'm giving it as a gift to every girl I know!!!

Putnam Juvenile, 1997

Sacagewea - an inspiring tale
Sacagawea by Judith St. Martin is a well-written historical novel for older children and young adults filled with rich descriptions and characters. Judith St. Martin, a noted children's biographer, used Lewis and Clarks' journals and other original material to tell a good story. My eight and a half year-old daughter says the book really inspired her. It made her think about what it would be ...

Bruce C. Paton

Fulcrum Publishing, 2001

Oversight corrected
If there is any event in American history that has been thoroughly documented it is the Lewis & Clark expedition, 1803-06. Surprisingly, one area that has been generally overlooked is the medical aspect of the expedition. A retired cardiac surgeon and wilderness medical expert, Bruce C. Paton, has remedied that oversight with this fascinating book. In a highly readable, non-techinal manner, Paton ...

Peter Lourie

Turtleback Books Distributed by Demco Media, 2004

An excellent book for kids!
My two daughters loved seeing the author's children included in this adventure. Lourie's photographs are amazing. They depict the wild terrain, the rivers and the mountains, that Sacagawea covered with Lewis and Clark in 1805-1806 on their way to the Pacific. From this book, I learned details about the expedition I had not known before. It's a great introduction to Sacagawea and the ...

Kira Gale

River Junction Press, LLC, 2006

Westward ho, little by little
Let's face it. Most of us who dream about one day traveling the route blazed by Lewis and Clark won't do it. There are just too many things that get in the way, not the least of which is the necessity to earn a living. Nearly none of us have the time or the resources (or the stamina, for that matter!) to do the entire trip at one swoop. Kira Gale of Omaha did do the entire trip, beginning ...

Marion Tinling, 2008

A very factual and realistic story about overcoming adversit
A wonderful history lesson for young adults. This factual chronicle of the life of Sacajawea's son, Charbonneau, will dispel the myth that Clark (of Lewis & Clark) made good on his promise to his Indian guide, Sacajawea. He did provide an education and board and room, but little else. In spite of the prejudice this boy faced, he was able to succeed in life. The book is well-written, factual, and ...
