This is a fantastic book that portrays the life of Sacagawea. It tells about her life from the time she was captured by the Minnetarees to when she leaves the Corps of Discovery at the end of their journey. It is a great read and very informative.

Student Review

A wonderful book, I couldn't put it down! A love story between two people the reader never expects. I especially loved that the main character, Sacagawea, is my age. This book gives the reader a real idea of how challenging Lewis and Clark's journey was. I was always wanting to turn the page.

A very good book!

"Streams to the river, River to the sea" was a very enjoyable book. It is based on the life of Sacagawea when she was kidnapped from her home tribe and "adopted" by the Minnetarees, a enemy tribe. Toward the middle of her teenage years, she is taken from her new home to join the famous Lewis and Clark exibition. From there, Sacagawaea and the other members of the group go through many chalenges from other indian tribes to the deadly forces of nature. It is a very good book and I would definantly recomend it to any other readers interested in American history.

A fantastic book that describes the adventures of Sacagawea.

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.
