Young historians, guides and descendants tell the untold stories of the Wild West. From the rich and overlooked history of the Native Americans who were there long before the “west was won” to the Lewis and Clark expedition guided by 16-year-old Sacagawea and the trickle of frontiersmen that becomes a flood of settlers seeking furs, gold, a free homestead, and a new start in a new land.
