Jean Baptiste Charbonneau, Man of Two Worlds and Sacagawea's son of the Lewis & Clark Expedition, now is a published biography.

Jean Baptiste Charbonneau was a man of two worlds. He was raised by genteel Anglos but his Indian lineage led him to a life with the rough-hewn. He traveled overseas and journeyed thousands of miles in the West as he balanced his cultural and ethnic differences.

Windsor, CA (PRWEB) July 20, 2005 -- How he balanced the two worlds he lived in took him on a long journey in a complex West.

Sacagaweas son, he rode in his Shoshone mothers cradleboard for 4,000 perilous miles with Lewis and Clark (1804-06), but that was only his beginning.

The extensively researched text places him in major 19th century events. His significance is based on documents gathered from archives, libraries and historical societies. Personal relationships, period life ways and conflicts are revealed, along with some controversial interpretation. Daily activities are described. The extraordinary connection between the Charbonneau family and William Clark also is explored.

The fast-paced book inspires those who love the West and seek to know more about key historical figures. Followers of the Charbonneau family, Clark, Indian history and culture, and those who embrace the natural western environment enjoy the book even more.

Please note: the writing style and thematic approach of this book are suitable for a wide audience, including students from age 15 to those with advanced knowledge of the era.
