Book Reviews
	My Name is York is from the Point of view of York, Clark's Personal Slave that he'd had from when he was a boy. It's a little bit about York's dream, and it says some about the Journey's main events. It has wonderful pictures and a short story. The Native Americans called him "The Great Medicine" because of his Dark Color. I definitely recommend this book! by Anneka
	The Story of Sacajawea, Guide to Lewis and Clark is a book about Sacajawea who was an Indian who lead Lewis and Clark on the second part of their journey. She was one of two wifes of a French trader who acted as an interpreter for Lewis and Clark named Charbonneau. Sacajawea had a son named Jean Baptise Charbonneau (or so Charbonneau thought) or Meeko (as Sacajawea thought). The people on the journey called him Pomp, meaning first born. Sacajawea carried him on her back for the whole time she was on the trip. I won't give away the rest so you can read the book for yourself. This is a good book if you like information. READ THIS BOOK! by Fiona and Breanna
	I recommend Streams to the River, River to the Sea. This book is about Sacagawea and the part of the journey she was on. It is from her point of veiw and includes many of her thoughts. Many of her thoughts were about her love, how she disliked her husband Charbonneau and her admiration for Captain Clark. It tells how she got to be Charbonneau's wife, how she joined the journey, what she did on the journey, and how she left the journey. This is a fairly long chapter book with some brutal context, so I recommend it to 9 and up and possibly some very mature 8 year olds. You can get this book at numerous bookstores, so go get it now! by Anneka
	I recommend Sacagawea, Indian Interpreter to Lewis & Clark. You will learn a lot about Sacagawea & what she did to help Lewis and Clark. This is what happend to her before she was part of the expedition (the book tells you this in much more detail): one day when her tribe, the Soshone indians, had come down for a buffalo hunt and she was collecting berries with a friend. She was suddenly captured by the Hidatsas and taken as a slave. They not only made her culture but also her languge and name. Sacagawea than married Charbonneau a French-Canadian, had a child and joined the Lewis and Clark expedition. This book will also tell you other things about the expedition and what Sacagawea did to help. by Fiona
		The Incredible Journey of Lewis & Clark is a great book that gives great information about Lewis & Clark. It will tell you about Lewis & Clark's "Incredible Journey", before it happened, when it happened, who made it happen, and much more. There are tons of pictures about everything that happened. On the front of the book is a beautiful picture of the Mandan Indian village. Surprisingly most of the Mandans are on top of their houses. Rhoda Blumberg gave this book thousands of meaty facts, so you could probably find everything you want to about Lewis and Clark and the Corps of Discovery. by Fiona
	Undaunted Courage by Stephen E. Ambrose This book may look long but it is worth all the time you spend reading it. It has practically all the information you need about the incredible journey of Meriwether Lewis and William Clark, from actual pictures of the men's journals, to thoroughly researched detailed history. My father especially enjoyed the description of the landscapes, including Gates of the Mountains and the White Cliffs of the Missouri river. Here's an example of how descriptive it is. "The men were astonished at the numbers of salmon in the [Columbia] river, mostly dying after the spawn, and therefore inedible. The water was so clear that, no mater how deep the river, the bottom was plainly visible." In spite of you knowing the outcome of the expedition, the author somehow makes it suspenseful to the reader. The suspense abruptly ends when Lewis and Clark get back to Washington. All in all, this is a very good book and everybody who has read it will recommend you read it, as we do. Book reveiw by Jeff
