COMING SEPT. 17, 2024 ~ "SACAGAWEA: WESTWARD WITH LEWIS AND CLARK" ~ A YOUNG SHOSHONE WOMAN. A SMALL BABY. A GIGANTIC DOG. A JOURNEY LIKE NO OTHER.
"Authors write about the things they love and the things that fascinate them.
For Alana White, those things range from the Smoky Mountains to the hills of Tuscany to the vast Pacific Northwest.
And not just the places, but the people who lived and made history there."
KIRKUS REVIEWS: "Sacagawea's remarkable life related throughout White's book comes from entries in the Lewis and Clark journals, as well as Shoshone oral tradition. Concisely written and highly readable.
"VOYA: "Readers will enjoy this intriguing story, told in this well-written book that is not shy about honoring Sacagawea's accomplishments."
SCHOOL LIBRARY JOURNAL: "A well-written and well presented biography of the young Shoshone woman who accompanied Lewis and Clark on their exploration of the American West. It is Sacagawea's role as a 'vital member of the groundbreaking Corps of Discovery' that is honored."

Now, she knows Sacagawea traveled two thousand miles to the Pacific Ocean and back, not only with her baby, but with a gigantic, Newfoundland dog, while saving her fellow-travelers from ruin on several occasions.
