Sacagawea
On the trail of Tuesday Trivia….
New this month from the University of Nebraska Press, is Why Sacagawea Deserves the Day off and Other Lessons from the Lewis and Clark Trail, by Stephanie Ambrose Tubbs.  By foot, by Volkswagen bus, and by canoe is how this adventurous woman renewed and relived each step the two explorers and their famous (though relatively unknown) guide took more than two hundred years ago.  This week Tuesday Trivia will try to shed some light onto this mystery woman-with all the information the world wide web has to offer.
Put your thinking caps on bloggers….this trivia train is ready to take off!
