Synopsis :

So many myths surround Pocahontas and Sacagawea that the fascinating true stories are often overlooked. This rigorously researched work of non-fiction uses the stories of these remarkable woman, and their kin and contemporaries, to trace a line of westward migration: from Jamestown, Virginia, across the Appalachian Mountains, up the Missouri River, and finally to the western United States. Along the way, we meet John Smith, Daniel Boone, and Lewis and Clark. We meet mountain men, black pioneers, and the less-well-known Native American heroines Nancy Ward and Sarah Winnemucca. We travel the Oregon Trail and confront the dishonor of the Trail of Tears. We learn about the long life of the baby on Sacagawea's back. The legacies of Pocahontas and Sacagawea form the backbone of a tale of exploration, dispossession, and nation-building.
