• Sommario/riassunto: A frank portrayal of Toussaint Charbonneau, a French-Canadian fur trader, who, with his Shoshone Indian wife Sacagawea, joined the Lewis and Clark expedition in 1803. While Sacagawea assumed legendary status as a ""token of peace"", Toussaint has been maligned in fiction and nonfiction alike.
