Margaret Coel

Number six in the 'Wind River Reservation' series, Margaret Coel published this book in 2001. Set around the legend of Sacajawea this time, Coel relates the story of this Native American woman who was said to have helped guide the Lewis and Clark expedition all across the American wilderness. According to the famous myth her body is buried in none other than the Wind River Reservation.

Margaret Coel's other series stand alone, so they can be read in any order.
