reviewed on + 160 more book reviews


Only the brave dared challenge the savage wilderness.....Trancois Rivet was one of the brave. Brash and young, half French, half Pawnee, he joined the great Lewis and Clark Expedition through the untamed territory of America. Rivert set out with the hope of finding hs father, who had been captured years before by the mighty Shoshone. This is the magnificent saga of his search and of his burning rivalry with Captain Clark for the love of Sacajawea, the wild Indian maiden who guided the explorers across the savage land.
