Sacajawea by Grace Raymond Hebard
This remarkable study rescues from undeserved obscurity the name and reputation of Sacajawea -- a true Native American heroine. The volume also unravels the tangled threads of her family life and traces the career of her son Baptiste (the papoose of the Lewis and Clark expedition). It also describes her personal traits, the significant services she rendered during the expedition and while she acted as counselor to her own people, discloses the true meaning of her name and describes her lost years among the Comanches. The text is enhanced with 21 illustrations, including a map, and 6 appendices containing testimonies by Indian agents, missionaries, teachers, and Shoshone tribespeople.
Grace Raymond Hebard (1861-1936) wrote the two-volume Bozeman Trail (Nebraska 1990). The introducer, Richard O. Clemmer-Smith, is a professor of anthropology at the University of Denver and the author of Roads in the Sky: Economic Change and Cultural Continuity among the Hopi.
