This special edition of the historically notable biographies of Sacajawea and the Wright Brothers bring together the lives of three brave individuals that made a difference in American history simply because they were willing to challenge themselves. The lives of Sacajawea and the Wright Brothers were different in every way possible, yet they forged a place in history that today still fascinates. Sacajawea participated in the famed Lewis and Clark Expedition and unknowingly became the subject of a controversy that still lingers since her death in 1884, which is diligently detailed by historian Grace Raymond Hebard. Wilbur and Orville Wright's story of their successful attempt to create the world's first airplane, amid many failures, was written by Fred C. Kelly and authorized by Orville Wright shortly before his death. Published in one volume for the first time and edited with additional material not published previously.
