Description

From the acclaimed best-selling writer of The Piano Shop on the Left Bank, a famous book about Jean-Baptiste Charbonneau, the son of Sacagawea, and his interesting sojourn as a guy in 1820s Paris.Born in 1805 on the Lewis and Clark expedition, Jean-Baptiste Charbonneau was the son of the expeditionis translators, Sacagawea and Toussaint Charbonneau. Over the Limitless Water compellingly shows this mixed blood child's mystical boyhood over the Missouri one of the Mandan tribe and his childhood as William Clark's ward in St. Louis. The book becomes a haunting exploration of enthusiasm and identification as eighteen-year-old Baptiste is asked to cross the Atlantic in 1823 with small Duke Paul of Württemberg.
