Harold P. Howard presents the source material from the journals kept by members of the Lewis and Clark expedition to tell Sacajawea's story. Besides discussing the controversies about her name, her service as guide and interpreter, and the contradictory evidence about her death, Howard describes Sacajawea's other important roles during the westward journey. For example, she gathered plants, identified landmarks, and saved equipment when a boat capsized. In addition, her presence with the expedition indicated to other Indians that this was not a war party. Howard not only provides answers to the "mysteries" surrounding the famous Shoshone woman, but tells the story of Lewis and Clark's exploration of the American West.
