Sacagawea was only sixteen when she made one of the most remarkable journeys in American history, traveling 4500 miles by foot, canoe, and horse-all while carrying a baby on her back! Without her, the Lewis and Clark expedition might have failed. Through this engaging book, kids will understand the reasons that today, 200 years later, she is still remembered and immortalized on a golden dollar coin.
Like a previous book I read in the Who Was ...? series I think this is a good starting point for young readers wanting to know more about history.
Sacagawea is a strong female figure in America. She did everything and more than the men were doing on the trip all while caring for a baby. That will always be an amazing thing to me.
In the future I would like to learn more about sacagawea and see her story told from a native author. If you have any suggestions for that please message me with them!
