Sacagawea: Motherhood on America’s Most Famous Expedition
While guiding Lewis and Clark across the American wilderness, Sacagawea carried infant Jean Baptiste on her back through extreme conditions. She gathered edible plants to supplement the expedition’s diet and ensured her son’s survival. William Clark so admired her parenting that he later offered to educate Jean Baptiste. Her son grew into an accomplished linguist and explorer who traveled through Europe and the American frontier as an interpreter.
