Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
Much has been written about the 1803-1806 Lewis and Clark expedition, but few authors have considered the effect it had on the Native Americans already inhabiting the "uncharted" territory it explored. Basing her story on actual events noted by William Clark, Virginia Driving Hawk Sneve tells a fictional account of an encounter from the point of view of three young Lakota boys. Her Story explores the wariness and misunderstanding each side met and the trouble that ensued. Historical notes and a glossary are included.
A group of young Dakota Indians encounters members of the Lewis and Clark Expedition.
