199929113N.P.:: XLibris 1999. First Printing of the First US Edition. A Fine tight copy in a Fine dust jacket. Sacajawea is by far the most memorialized female in American history. According to the U. S. Government "More statues streams lakes landmarks parks songs ballads and poems honor this young woman than any other woman in American history. Without Sacajawea's navigational diplomatic and translating skills the famous Lewis and Clark Expedition would have perished." Yet controversy still rages as to whether she died in 1812 in South Dakota or in 1884 in Wyoming. And where is she buried South Dakota or Wyoming. This book answers those questions by validating the Oral or Traditional History of her own people the Shoshones and explains why many white historians including Ken Burns and Steven Ambrose are wrong concerning the death and the burial spot of America's greatest and most beloved female icon.

He would refuse to take provisions and live off the land became famous for his daring exploits. "In 1926 Hornby tried to spend a year in a spot by the Thelon River with his 18-year-old cousin Edgar Christian and another young man Harold Adlard. Unfortunately the trio missed the caribou migration southward and therefore lacked sufficient food to survive the winter. Hornby died of starvation along with his companions in 1927. The graves of the three men can be found by the Thelon River near Hornby Point.Hornby recommended in a report following his expedition with Critchell Bullock that the areas near the Thelon and Hanbury Rivers be created as a wildlife sanctuary. The Thelon Game Sanctuary was established in 1927 and renamed Thelon Wildlife Sanctuary in 1956." Wikipedia . John Murray hardcover
