The epic story of Jean-Baptiste Charbonneau, son of Sacajawea, and his quest to unite the two worlds in which he was raised: posh European society and the mystic American wilderness The son of two of Lewis and Clark's guides--Sacajawea and a French Canadian fur trapper--Jean-Baptiste Charbonneau was born during one of the greatest adventures in American history. With the support of William Clark, he grew up in the well-to-do society of St. Louis and eventually made his way to Europe, where he became the welcome guest of kings. But Charbonneau was a man of two dreams, and the Western wilderness pulled at his heart. It was there that he returned as a nineteenth-century mountain man, trader, and explorer. Charbonneau is a moving novel based on the fundamental conflict in the American West during the first half of the nineteenth century: the clash of values between the white man and the American Indian. In the great storytelling tradition, Win Blevins creates a magnificent set of characters, imaginatively reconstructs historical events, and brings Charbonneau and the era in which he lived to vivid life in a story of epic scope and lyrical eloquence.
