There are more statues of Sacagawea today than of any female in U.S. history, although no one knows what she really looked like. This early-nineteenth-century magazine illustration shows one artist’s vision of her.

THE EXCEPTION

The other explorers called Sacagawea “Janey.” She was the Lewis and Clark expedition’s only Indian, its only female, its only teenager, one of only two slaves—the other being York. And she was the only member of the party who didn’t get paid.

HOW CLARK LATER REMEMBERED SACAGAWEA

“She was very observant. She had a good memory, remembering locations not seen since her childhood. In trouble she was full of resources, plucky and determined. With her helpless infant she rode with the men, guiding us unerringly through mountain passes and lonely places. Intelligent, cheerful, resourceful, tireless, faithful, she inspired us all.”
