 Sacajawea was born around 1780 or so.  She was a Shoshone woman and she loved horses.  Sacajawea never thought she would be going on a journey.  She was kidnapped from her family when she was young.  The enemy chief made her do many chores.  She grew up captive without her parents or her brother.  They were stacking every thing up in piles getting ready to go on a journey but Sacajawea didn’t know that.

 When Sacajawea was a teenager she was sold to a trader.  She was made the traders wife a little later.  Sacajawea became ill when she was going to have a baby.  Her husband gave her the tail of a rattle snake for medicine.  She named the baby Pomp and carried Pomp on her back the whole way.  She came with them on the Lewis and Clark journey.  She helped them so much along the way.  Sacajawea died in the winter of 1812 from a bad fever.  On the journey she saw her tribe and her brother was chief.

 Sacajawea is famous for finding a route with Lewis and Clark from the Missouri river to the pacific ocean.  She helped so much on the journey by making the Indians not shoot making them food and much more.  They all survived in the journey and Sacajawea was the only woman who went on the journey.  She traveled hundreds of miles on the ground and in the water with pomp on her back the whole time.  If Sacajawea wasn’t with them they would of never found the passage the Indians would of attacked.

I chose Sacajawea because I have seen her in books and movies but I didn’t know what she did that made her famous. Plus it looked like she made a huge difference in the country it looked like a really good biography. She looked really brave and courageous. The biography had a lot of interesting facts and I heard she did something super awesome.
