Sacagawea Statue, Grave, and Cemetery, Fort Washakie, WY

Thayne Branch Library, Thayne, Wyoming
    Since there is controversy as to whether Sacagawea died in South Dakota or Wyoming, I've included the two plaques which flank her statue. [Photos taken 15 Jun 2013.] (Click once to enlarge; press ESC to return here.)

 

    In case the plaque is unreadable, here are the dates for each numbered spot in the Corps of Discovery's expedition: 1)17 Mar 1805?; expedition departs on 7 Apr 1805?; 2)Camp Fortunate, 15 Aug 1805, Sacagawea recognizes her bother; 3)[Winter of 1805-6], Ft Clatsop, SW of Astoria, OR; and 4)3 Jul - 12 Aug 1806, Sacagawea guides Capt Clark to rendevous with Capt Lewis.
