In the novel Streams to the river, River to the sea, author, Scott O’ Dell retells the story of Sacagawea and her travels with the Lewis and Clark expedition. Sacagawea was born into the Shoshone Indian tribe. She was kidnapped at the age of fifteen, by a rival tribe named the Minnetaree. She was soon married to a French trader named Touissate Charbonneau; within a year she had a baby boy named Meeko, who was greatly loved by Captain.

The story of the Lewis and Clark expedition was filled with toil and hardship, but they persevered and found a pathway to the Pacific Ocean. Along the way; they encountered many different Indian tribes, the Mandan, Telton, Sioux, and Oto. Some of these tribes were willing to trade for food and horses, others were not so friendly. The entire trip took two and a half years and a total of 7,456 miles were traveled and only lost one member of their party; and that was to natural causes.
