The truth about Sacajawea

Synopsis

Here is the first book ever to tell the eyewitness truth about Sacajawea. Author, Ken Thomasma went to the two million words written by Lewis and Clark and their men describing everyday of their epic journey to the Pacific Ocean. Ken took every entry made about Sacajawea and her infant son, Pompy, and paraphrased the entry. Ken adds a commentary after each entry and gives and update on the expedition. With THE TRUTH ABOUT SACAJAWEA the reader will understand exactly what the teenage Shoshoni mother contributed to the success of the United States Army's Corps of Discovery. This is the book used by the United States Treasury Department to help develop the new circulating Sacajawea Golden Dollar Coin. Ken made several trips to Washington, DC, once to the United States Mint with others to pick the design of the dollar coin, and a second trip to join hundreds of people on the south lawn of the White House to celebrate the unveiling of the design of the new dollar by the First Lady, Hillary Clinton. THE TRUTH ABOUT SACAJAWEA also gives the reader a quick overview of the entire Lewis and Clark Expedition in just ninety-six pages.
