Sacagawea, a young Shoshone woman, lived from c. 1788-1812, and
was a guide and interpreter for the Corps of Discovery. She joined
the expedition at Fort Mandan in 1805 when captains Meriwether
Lewis and William Clark hired her husband, Toussaint Charbonneau,
as an interpreter. Sacagawea’s name translates to “Bird
Woman.” She was the only female member of the expedition and
was just 15 years old when she joined the group. She kept her baby
with her during the expedition and a US dollar coin has been minted
to honor her which shows her with her baby on her back.
There is a children’s book about Sacagawea in the cache which
should remain there.
The second page of this poster shows a general overview of
trails in Lebanon.
If you approach from the Rt. 10 Wilder Dam parking up the
dirt/gravel road, there is a detailed trail map at the top at the
left.
The
cache is dedicated to Sacagawea who guided the Lewis and Clark
expedition out West, had a baby while doing so, and kept her baby
with her.
