Index

"The authors of this meticulous study have done Sacagawea a service by restoring her accomplishments to human proportions and by replacing much nonsense with many fine, and factual, details."—The New Yorker

"Clark and Edmonds have used archival and published studies to gather all available material on the legendary Indian maiden who accompanied the Lewis and Clark Expedition. By careful examination of these materials the authors describe the very real contributions Sacagawea made to the success of the Expedition and trace the development of the legend which gradually transformed and magnified her role. . . . Neither unduly adulatory or revisionist, this is a story which old and young, historian or buff, will enjoy and profit from."—Pacific Historian

"The story of Sacagawea has the kind of mystery about it that insures that it will be with us forever. . . . [This book] brings the great Shoshoni woman alive as a rare human being for any culture at any time."—Westways
