The Journey Of Lewis, Clark, and Sacagawea

Lewis, Clark & Sacagawea Journey: Born to the Lemhi tribe of Shoshone Indians in present-dayIdaho in about 1788, Sacagawea would grow up to be a near-legendary figure for her indispensable role on the Lewis and Clark Expedition. The daughter of Shoshone chief, she was kidnapped after a battle with Hidatsa Indians that resulted in the deaths of four Shoshone warriors, as well as several women and children. She was only about ten years old. Taken back to the Hidatsa village located near present-day Washburn, North Dakota, she quickly became assimilated to the Hidatsa culture and learned to speak their language.



Some time later, Sacagawea was sold to Toussaint Charbonneau, a French Canadian trapper, as his wife. In the winter of 1804, the Lewis and Clark Expedition were encamped near several Hidatsa villages where they built Fort Mandan.Sacagawea died on December 22, 1812 at Fort Manuel, a Missouri Fur Company trading post in present-day South Dakota, of a disease called "putrid fever.” She was only about 24 years-old.

My Story:  Sacawagea was a bravest woman that lead a lot of explorers, Lewis and Clark wants that Sacawagea leads their way, they went to a lot of places , they cross out the Missouri River, it was a great adventure, but Sacawagea died on December 22, 1812 at Fort Manuel.
