Sacagawea's child : the life and times of Jean-Baptiste (Pomp) Charbonneau / by Susan M. Colby.

Colby, Susan M. (Author).

Summary:

With Lewis and Clark from the moment of his birth, little "Pomp", whose real name was Jean-Baptiste Charbonneau, journeyed from North Dakota to the Pacific and back in the arms of his mother, Sacagawea. Jean-Baptiste remained at the forefront of western expansion his entire life-from his infancy with the Corps of Discovery, to his years as a fur trader and Mountain Man on the upper Missouri and the Santa Fe Trail, to his guidance of the Mormon Battalion and administrative term in southern California, and finally to his gold rush years near Sacramento.
