His mother became a legend. But the infant boy who also made the hazardous 1,900-mile journey to Oregon with the Lewis and Clark Expedition nearly disappeared from sight after their return. Yet he lived a long, adventurous life. Educated in St. Louis by William Clark, he spent six years in Europe as the ward of a German prince. Upon his return he joined the fur trade, working with the famous of the west--Jim Bridger, Tom Fitzpatrick, Kit Carson--a guide for the Mormon Battalion in its 1,100-mile march across the Southwest to California, the alcalde of Mission San Luis Rey, and a gold miner. He died, in a remote corner of Southeastern Oregon, at age 61.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eFrederick Taylor, a native Oregonian, spent 30 years as a reporter and editor with The Wall Street Journal, the last 14 as managing editor and then executive editor. As a reporter he wrote many of the long, front-page stories that have made The Journal famous. For 10 years after his retirement there he published and edited a weekly newspaper in Coquille, Oregon. He became interested in Sacagawea's son, Jean Baptiste Charbonneau, when he discovered that, although Pomp lived a long, exciting life, he'd been only the subject of essays. Taylor thought he deserved more.\u003c\/p\u003e This book contains what he found.
