Famous Women in History: Sacagawea: Guide to the Corps of Discovery is a paperback biography for kids ages 8 and up that introduces a young Native American mother whose strength and courage helped shape U.S. history.

Born into the Lemhi Shoshone tribe in 1788, Sacagawea experienced an often difficult early life, including being kidnapped into slavery at age 12 and forced to marry a violent man at age 16. Not long after, she met Lewis and Clark. With a young infant in tow, she made history as a guide and translator during the Corps of Discovery Expedition to explore the newly acquired western territories of the United States.

This engaging nonfiction book blends historical facts with age-appropriate discussion of the mysteries surrounding Sacagawea, including speculated accounts, what is known about her later years, and the conflicting details of her death. Side stories add context about the expedition and the people connected to it, including Lewis, Clark, and Jean Baptiste Charbonneau.

Kids who enjoy narrative nonfiction, American history, and biographies about famous women will love the approachable writing and visual storytelling. Along with archival images and illustrations, the book includes maps and helpful back matter, making it a strong choice for book reports, research projects, and social studies reading.
