A Note about the Editor
A Note about the Type

This book was produced along with the celebration of the anniversary of the trip of Lewis and Clark from St Louis following the Missouri River, then over the mountains and eventually down the Columbia River to the Pacific Ocean.
It is an eclectic work of 9 different people of native American blood and heritage about the expedition and what that expedition eventually acomplished in totally changing the way of life of all the native Americans encountered. A few are bitter, some legalistic, some straigtforward narratives, All interesting in their own way. There are at least two which explain and enrigh the understanding of Sakakawea (as spelled in the book) and her husband J.B. Charbonneau.
On the whole an interesting read.
