Summary: My Favorite Scott O'Dell Book . . . so far!
Comment: This story took place in the Louisiana Territory during the early 1800's. The main character is a thirteen year old girl named Sacagawea. Other main characters are people in the Lewis and Clark expedition, her French husband, and her baby boy Meeka. Her husband, Charbonneau, was an ugly, cruel man who she was forced to marry because she was a Minnetaree slave. Clark, on the other hand, was handsome and kind and she loved him at first sight. Sacagawea went with the Lewis and Clark expedition so she could help guide them through the Louisiana Territory. They wanted to reach the North Pacific Ocean. Their journey held many difficulties including near starvation, floods, and frost bite. Do they make it? Does Sacagawea marry Clark? This is a great book. You should read it. Scott O'Dell is a wonderful writer. Out of all the Scott O'Dell books I've read, this one is my favorite.

Summary: A fantastic book that describes the adventures of Sacagawea.
Comment: Lewis and Clark's daring journey through the Louisiana Territory to the Pacific Ocean and back was created anew in the wonderful Streams to the River, River to the Sea. The book describes how Sacagawea, a young Shoshone woman, provides invaluable assistance and guidance to the Lewis and Clark expedition. When Sacagawea was a young woman, she was captured by the Minnetarees, an enemy tribe, and taken from her native village. She made a bold escape only to fall into the hands of Charbonneau, a cruel and ugly French trader whom she is forced to marry. Sacagawea has a son named Meeko soon after their marriage. Even though Sacagawea was a good wife and devoted mother, she was mistreated and abused by her husband.
While Sacagawea and her family journeyed through the Louisiana Territory, the expedition confronted many challenges such as severe cold, intense heat, sickness, and fierce enemy tribes. While the expedition traveled near the foot of the Rockies, Sacagawea met up with her blood brother and her Shoshone tribe helps the expedition in a vital way. In this story, Sacagawea learns about the true meaning of love and her place in society as a Native American. The author describes these difficulties in a vivid and adventurous way. Sacagawea's courageous and resourceful character is portrayed beautifully in this exciting and suspenseful book.

Summary: Streams to a little Boredom but Rivers to History
Comment: It was a good historical book, but at some parts it was slow. It was interesting to see Sacagawea's side of the story, not just Lewis and Clarks. It is a good book if you are studying the Lewis and Clark expedition, or if you want to find out about it. The story tells of Sacagawea's hardships throught the journey and what happened before Lewis and Clark even hired her. It is very interesting how she comes to love Clark, but she is already married.
