The female side of the Corps May 7, 2008
I originally read this in jr. high when I really did not have all that much appreciation for the Corps of Discovery. Then I later read this whilst studying aforementioned Corps and was instantly captivated by O'Dell's care for the character of Sacagawea. This is part romance, part adventure, and part passion for history. Scott O'Dell is someone I trust to research his facts and I like to think it shows. Even though O'Dell is once again writing as a female, it works. The result is a very haunting account of the Lewis and Clark expedition.
 Well written September 13, 2007
Although this story may be historical fiction the character of Sacajawea comes alive through O'dells writing. From what I have read very little is known about Sacajawea and this story brings an unknown personality to life even though it is just through the author's imagination. I have used this book with 3rd grade readers and they enjoyed it very much. They became interested in the the journey of Lewis and Clark because of the book. I have had a hard time finding well written stories about Native Americans so I especially like O'dells books--another favorite I have is Sing Down the Moon about the Navajo long walk. I recommend both of these stories for anyone interested in Native American historical fiction.
 A fictional take on history March 1, 2007

Sacagawea is a young girl when this story begins, and is captured by the Minnatarees in the first chapter. The book continues with her captivity, marriage, and journey with the Lewis and Clark expedition. I think it is interesting if you are looking for fiction in this setting, but not if you want the facts. None of the history I have read substantiates any kind of romance between Sacagawea and William Clark, for example.
Also, the book seems geared to children about the age of thirteen, as that is Sacagawea's age for most of it. I would not recommend it to children that young, as I think the themes of her marriage and attraction to William Clark are too mature.

I found this book as a child in my elementary school library and I spent alot of time trying to track it back down so that I could pass it on to my cousin, Sarah. The story is not all true, but I feel that it is a really important read for young ladies. I know that reading this book helped me see the importance of women in history. This is a really great book, full of excitement and emotion!
What a great book!!!!! September 19, 2006
