Sacajawea

The Story of Bird Woman and the Lewis and Clark Expedition

De: Joseph Bruchac

Narrado por: Nicolle Littrell, Michael Rafkin

Before the expedition of Meriwether Lewis and William Clark, the United States stopped at the Mississippi River. However, their journey opened up the wilderness borders to the Pacific Ocean. The key to the success of this 18 month journey was a young Indian girl - Sacajawea. Without her, the corps of discovery would have been doomed from the start.©2001 Joseph Bruchac (P)2003 Audio Bookshelf

Wonderful storytelling!

I enjoyed the way this brief tale brought history alive! Highly recommend. Narrators were excellent.

An easy listen.

A great story that all ages can enjoy. It was entertaining to learn light heartedly about the expedition.

Poor narration for my ears

Some people might enjoy this style of narration. I did not. Few real details of trip really. Just not one of my favs. Still I DID finish it!!!

Loved the accents and voices in the narration

My nine year old daughter gave it 5 stars! She enjoyed listening to it! This was a fun way to learn about the history with her.

A good middle school story

I enjoyed the characters and the simplicity of the storyline. The author could have given more background information.

Outstandingly written! Read beautifully! 🥰

I can't rightly tell you everything that I've loved it what exactly over loved the most in this book, it's ALL great but one thing that is gleaming like a mirror in the sun is that I totally love the (I'll call them) "creative 'word pictures' " that were brought forth to my mind.

Very enjoyable for the whole family!

I loved the story and the history. It took me a bit to get used to the narration as it seems to be directed as story time for kids.

Interesting!

I enjoyed this Book... Especially the way it is told from different people and their ways of interpreting the trip and things they endured. if you are interested in the Lewis and Clark Expedition,. then you might enjoy this listen.

Excellent Book!

I love how the narrators portrayed the expedition! They truly pulled me into the story. I may have to listen to it again in the near future!

well-told historical account with unique narration

An all ages retelling of the historical expedition of Lewis and Clark, featuring key member of the team Sacagawea. Some is naturally fictionalized, but is interwoven with notes from their famous journals. While perhaps not as exciting as a fully fictionalized story, it's a fun way to become better acquainted with this notable event.

This account focuses a bit on the Native American tribes L & C encountered and the significant role played by the young mother & wife who helped them navigate through Nature's challenges, far from the familiar comforts of "civilization."

Some of the narration takes a bit of getting used to. It leaves an impression of the story telling of an oral tradition. If that's a barrier to listening, some might prefer a text version of this book. As the writing shifts between different perspective among the group, the writing style changes, offering a different written voice for each character. I think this story has much to offer in either format, and is worth the listen, especially as part of the included catalog.
