Description

Sacagawea (May 1788 - December 20, 1812) was a Lemhi Shoshone woman who helped the Lewis and Clark Expedition achieve its chartered mission objectives exploring the Louisiana Purchase between 1804 and 1806. Reliable historical information about Sacagawea is very limited.

A lovely statue of a woman who deserves recognition. She and her husband were instrumental to the success of Lewis and Clark. She even reunited with her Shoshone family on the expedition. I like her on the dollar coin, too!
