33. Lewis and Clark Were Nothing Without Sacagawea
They say that behind every successful man, there is a great woman, and for Lewis and Clark, that woman was Sacagawea. She was a Lemhi Shoshone woman that helped guide and translates for their expedition towards the Louisiana Territory. They traveled for thousands of miles together, helping them have contact with the Native American people every step of the way. She also taught them about the natural history of every region they visited. She was only a teenager when she took part in the expedition because she could speak Shoshone, which was a language they were sure to encounter.
