THE BIRD-WOMAN OF THE LEWIS AND CLARK EXPEDITION

A SUPPLEMENTARY READER FORFIRST AND SECOND GRADES

BY KATHERINE CHANDLER

Author of"Habits of California Plants" and "In the Reign of Coyote: Folk-Lorefrom the Pacific"

1905

To my friendGENEVRA SISSON SNEDDENwhose interest in this little book has encouraged its completion

PREFACE.

Because children invariably ask for "more" of the stories they findinteresting, this little book of continuous narrative has been written.Every incident is found in the Lewis and Clark Journals, so that thechild's frequent question, "Is it true?" can be answered in theaffirmative.

The vocabulary consists of fewer than 700 words. Over half of these arefound in popular primers. Therefore, the child should have no difficultyin reading this historical story after completing a first reader.

The illustrations on pages 13, 15, 29, 64, and the last one on page 79,are redrawn from Catlin's "Letters and Notes on the Manners, Customs,and Conditions of the North-American Indians."

My acknowledgments are due Miss Lilian Bridgman, of San Francisco, forhelp in arranging the vocabulary.

THE BIRD-WOMAN.

The Bird-Woman was an Indian.
She showed the white men the way into the West.
There were no roads to the West then.
That was one hundred years ago.
This Indian woman took the white men across streams.
She took them over hills.
She took them through bushes.
She seemed to find her way as a bird does.
The white men said, "She goes like a bird.
We will call her the Bird-Woman."
Her Indian name was Sacajawea.
