Journey of the Heart: The Lewis and Clark Expedition Through the Eyes of Sacagawea and Captain William Clark

The Lewis and Clark Expedition comes to life beautifully in this novel which alternates the voices of Sacagawea and Captain William Clark. The arduous journey across unexplored and newly acquired United States territory was fraught with danger and physical adversity, but it was also a rich and powerful journey laced with adventure, joy, and love. Although Sacagawea was a young girl with a baby, she proved herself an invaluable asset to the Expedition, especially when she translated for the Captains as they bartered with her native Shoshone tribe for the horses needed to cross the mountains. Captain Clark successfully marshaled the men of the Corps of Discovery to their destination--the Pacific Ocean and back, while also establishing good relations with the native tribes encountered on the trail. The bond of friendship between Captain Clark and Sacagawea grew with each step of the journey, and Clark could hardly contain his anxiety when the expedition ended. He wrote to Sacagawea and her husband, urging them to bring their baby to St. Louis to establish a residence near his.
