beautiful, sumptious, magnificent writing,

This review is from: Sacajawea (Lewis & Clark Expedition) (Mass Market Paperback)
I was completely enthralled with this book during the month it took me to read it and now that I have finished it, I feel like I am saying good-bye to a true and valued friend. Anna Lee Waldo has created a scholarly masterpiece that deserves to be read by future generations, not just by North Americans seeking to learn more about their countries, but by people all over the world. Sacagawea's story of perservance, hope and belief in herself are an inspiration for everyone. Although the book covers all of what is known about Sacagawea's life, there appears to be some question as to when and where exactly she died. Waldo presents the known facts and lets the reader decide for him/herself. The book contains hundreds of interesting footnotes as well as a detailed biography. There is also a small, rather inadequate map -- you may find you need to get a larger, clearer one of the area in order to keep up with Sacagawea's travels throughout the west. My only problem with the book was the cover which makes it look like an historical romance which it is decidedly not (although it does contain love and romance and joy as well as sorrow and pain). I am greatful to amazon.com for helping me to find this wonderful book, to echo what jhogan said earlier, why isn't this book better known?

Amazing woman, amazing book...,

This review is from: Sacajawea (Lewis & Clark Expedition) (Mass Market Paperback)
If you're a fan of historical fiction, this is a must-read title. Waldo has done a superb job in relaying the true story of Sacjawea - Lewis & Clark's guide (and she was oh so much more...). This is a HUGE fictional, yes, but you'll be so absorbed - veritably transported to the time and place - you'll not notice, trust me! When I got to the end of the book, it was with a sense of accomplishment (it's over 1400 pages) and some regret that it was over (I didn't want it to end!)... mixed feelings, for sure. This is one of my all-time fave fiction titles. Can't recommend it highly enough!

5.0 out of 5 stars
A most compelling novel.,
This review is from: Sacajawea (Lewis & Clark Expedition) (Mass Market Paperback)
This is one of the best,well writen books that I have read in a long time. I treasure my tattered copy and I urge others to read this great adventure. Ms. Waldo is an excellent writer and her works are a treasure.A large book,even in paperback,over 1400 pages. But once you start reading it will be very hard to put down.I highly recommend it for everyone.
