This week on The Write Question, Stephenie Ambrose Tubbs talks about her book Why Sacagawea Deserves the Day Off and other Lessons from the Lewis and Clark Trail. She also reads from the title essay.

Having grown up absolutely immersed in Corps of Discovery lore, I find it fascinating to think that what I think I know about Sacajawea might be pure fiction. Ambrose-Tubbs' interview has started me thinking, on one route, that it might do a person good to seriously examine the culture surrounding Sacajawea and compare that to the historical person. On another route, she's convinced me to go pick up her book.
