'Sacajawea' finds the story behind the myth

This interview originally aired on In the Moment on SDPB Radio.

A new biography from the South Dakota Historical Society Press seeks to tell the true story of an enigmatic historical figure.

Everything known about Sacajawea comes from the written accounts of people who say they knew her. Her own words are lost to history.

"Sacajawea: Mystery, Myth, and Legend" seeks to share her story from her life to her death.

We talk to author Candy Moulton about Sacajawea's legacy and why Moulton loves history's mysteries.
