Show 4552 Freeman- D 2571 about river. He was completely in the dark. That was one of the things that always made his voyage an epic of exploration. He dove into the dark in entering the canyons of the Colorado. Q Do you recall whether or not the Lewis and Clark expedition to the west used Indian guides? A The only known white man on the voyage was a halfbreed French- Canadian. His wife was an Indian by the name of Sacajawea, of the tribe living between the headwaters of the Jefferson fork of the Missouri and the Snake, where the drainage of the Missouri meets the drainage of the Columbia. The principal use of this woman was as an interpreter, though her personal knowledge of the region near her home on the continental divide was considerable value to the expedition.
