In 1804 Thomas Jefferson had just purchased the Louisiana Territory from France for a meager 15 million dollars. It doubled the size of the United States but nobody really knew what lay there. So he hired Meriwether Lewis and William Clark to explore the territory and trek all the way to the Pacific Ocean in order to find out what was there. But the two men needed a guide and someone who knew how to survive out west. And they found one in a Teenage Shoshone Woman named Sacagawea. Kidnapped from her tribe at a young age she was married off to a French fur trapped against her will and forced to bear his children. So she along with her husband Toussaint Charbonneau and her baby Pomp set out with Lewis and Clark to explore the unexplored territory. The journey took two years and the three made history. This is their story.
