Bird Woman (Sacajawea) the Guide of Lewis and Clark: Her Own Story Now First Given to the World

Description

An Indian woman, Sacagawea, the Bird Girl of the Shoshones, led the Lewis and Clark Expedition around the desert and over the difficult mountain passes to the Pacific Coast all the way through the seasons of 1804-06.
Sacagawea was once the wife of an interpreter, Toussaint Charboneau. She had been taken in war by the Minnetarees in her childhood and sold as a slave to Charboneau who brought her up and afterwards married her. The tale of her life has been told under the title of “The Bird Girl,”‘ by James Willard Schultz, as he heard it from an old trapper and an Indian Girl either one of whom had it from Sacagawea’s own lips.

James Willard Schultz, or Apikuni, (1859-1947) was once a noted creator, explorer, Glacier National Park guide, fur trader and historian of the Blackfoot Indians. He operated a fur trading post at Carroll, Montana  and lived some of the Pikuni tribe all the way through the period 1880-82. He was once given the name Apikuni by the Pikuni chief, Running Crane. Apikuni in Blackfoot means “Spotted Robe.” Schultz is such a lot noted for his 37 books, such a lot about Blackfoot life, and for his contributions to the naming of prominent features in Glacier National Park.
