About

Dressed in doeskin, alone and unafraid, she stood tall before the forces reshaping a continent. Sacajawea, daughter of a Shoshone chief, was the only woman to travel with Lewis and Clark on their historic journey west.

Her path carried her thousands of miles, from the open prairies, over the Great Divide, across the snow-capped Rockies, and on to the green coast of the Pacific Northwest. Her story brims with emotion and adventure drawn from the early days of a vast and untamed land.

Ten years in the writing, Sacajawea paints an epic portrait of the people and events of its time, capturing one woman's lifelong longing for a passion that always seemed to wait just beyond the next mountain.
