Rating:  Summary: Beautifully Written!!! Review: Scott O'deal has did it again!! He has written so many books, all of them seem like classics to me. " Streams to River, River to Sea" is one of them. He blended history into a well told tale of Sacagawea and of the Lewis and Clark adventure. I read this book as fast as I could only to find the end the best part. I didn't want the book to end, but as all do it did. I recomend you read this book soon!!
Rating:  Summary: Swimming in a stream of adventure and learning. Review: Streams to the River River to the Sea was an interesting book. It's a very adventurous story about a 14 year old native American girl. I liked how it revealed real American history from Sacagawea's point of view. It made it seem more believable. From how she started in the Shoshone tribe to a long story of how she went on the journey with Lewis and Clark connected well. Although I did get a little bored through some of the chapters, if you like books with real history and adventure, read this. But, be prepared for a disappointing ending.
Rating:  Summary: Her Heart was Her Compass Review: This book is a fictionalized account of two years in the life of a young Shoshone girl, called "Bird Woman" in her own tongue. Kidnapped by a raiding tribe, whose language she must learn, she is enslaved and groomed for the chief's son. Something about Sacagawea excites the interest of several warriors during the course of this story, but she is forced to marry a sly, truculent French trapper named Charbonneau, by whom she has a son at only 14. While attempting to maintain historical accuracy (based on Clark's journals), O'Dell weaves an interesting tale of suppressed emotions, greed and jealousy, sacrifice and intrigue in wilderness America. The famous Lewis and Clark expedition of 1804/5 was commissioned to explore and document the geography, geology, flora and fauna of the newly purchased Louisiana Territory for President Jefferson. With the presumptuous claiming of Native American land as far as the Pacific coast. This ardurous journey to the salty ocean, with her infant son on her back, was undertaken in simple faith and steadfast loyalty to the copper-haired captain. Yet the return proved a trail of unshed tears by the devoted young mother, who realized that the famous white man would never marry an Indian woman and be demeaned as a squaw man. This story will appeal more to girls, since it is narrated in the first person by Sacagewea herself. Fort Clatsop, where the party wintered near the Washington/Oregon border, has been reconstructed for tourists interested in America's Western history. Of note: the courage of this brave Indian girl has been preserved (with son on back) in a recent commemorative coin.

Rating:  Summary: Take a journey down the Missouri... Review: This book is about the courageous Sacagewea who is the Indian guide for Lewis and Clark's expedition
down the Missouri River. Although, this is Sacagewea's point of view, and starts off before she ever meets Lewis and Clark. This is an exciting
tale and I would recomend it to anyone who is interested in Native American history, or the journey
of Lewis and Clark.
Rating:  Summary: How to find out a really good theory of Sacagawea Review: This book is pretty good, I did noot give it its full points because I like more adventure books. If you were thinking about reading this book this book you would like it if you liked a little adventure and a bit of aand history. The story is about a girl named Sacagawea. Her family was part of the the shoshone tribe and lived high up in the rockies. as you probably already know she guided Lewis and Clark along the Mississippi river. This story started way before this adventure, it tellsyou how it all got started. It all started when she and many other people from her tribe were captured, and the town was demolished. Will she get along withe the Minetarees, the people who captured her, or will they kill her? Will she ever see the shoshone tribe again? to find out you must reaad the book. This book is a great book to find out how the Lewis and Clark expedition really eas. It is also a great fiction story to tell you about Sacagawea's adventure
Rating:  Summary: goooood Review: this book was very good and that is very good to hear from me. i usually like horror books or scary things like that but i really like this book and it was very helpful
Rating:  Summary: Streams to a little Boredom but Rivers to History Review: 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.
