Sacagawea

As most of us know, Sacagawea served as an interpreter and guide for Lewis and Clark in their famous expedition. She died at the young age of 25, and Clark adopted her two children. Some believe that another woman who died 70-some-odd years later was the real Sacagawea, but historical documents disagree with this.

When I was a kid, I remember reading a series of books that espoused certain values while giving biographies of famous people in history. I think the only one I still own is about Louis Pasteur. Anyway, I remember reading the ValueTale of Sacagawea. I couldn't find an image of it on amazon. Perhaps none of these books are still in print? That's a sad loss.
