Product Description
In the last quarter of the 19th century Montana author James Willard Schultz listened to nightly storytelling in the lodges of the Blackfoot Indians. Among the storytellers was Earth Woman, aka Mrs. James Kipp and the daughter of Four Bears, Chief of the Mandans during the time of the Lewis and Clark Expedition. Earth Woman repeated stories she had heard as a girl in her father's lodge told by Bird Woman - tales of traveling with two white chiefs to the "Everywhere Salt Water." Here then is Sacagawea's own story, passed down to us in the tradition of Native American oral history through the writing of one of the early West's greatest storytellers and reprinted for the first time since 1918. Here you will meet Sacagawea, a woman of intelligence, courage and determination who proved to be crucial to the survival and success of the Corps of Discovery, the greatest expedition in the history of the United States.
