Excerpt from The Indian Girl Who Led Them, Sacajawea "Some day upon the Bozeman Pass, Sacajawea's statue will stand beside that of Clark. Some day, where the rivers part, her laurels will vie with those of Lewis. Across North America a Shoshone Indian princess touched hands with Jefferson, opening her country, " writes Eva Emery Dye, in "The Conquest." It is for the aid she gave the historic enterprise that we remember Sacajawea. To our fancy she most often appears as a patient squaw, boldly leading the Lewis and Clark party through a maze of mountains and snow fields, but the months of 1804-5 spent in the service of the expedition were but a brief period of a life romantically set and eventful, though dreary alike with an Indian woman's doom of labor and with hopeless ambitions. Lewis and Clark wrote down the main facts of her history. Knowledge of her environment and such clues as have been gained from searches among old records eke out the material needful for a story of her life.
