[151] Sacajawea was a young Indian woman who accompanied her husband
on the Lewis and Clark Expedition from the Missouri River to the
Pacific Coast, the only woman in the party. She had been a captive
from an Idaho tribe of the Shoshones and was the only person who could
speak the language of the Indians that would be met on the way or who

the women of Oregon formed the Sacajawea Association, with the
following officers: Mrs. Eva Emery Dye, president; Mrs. C. M.
Cartwright, first vice-president; Mrs. M. A. Dalton, second; Mrs. J.
B. Montgomery, third; Mrs. Sarah A. Evans, secretary; Mrs. A. H.
Breyman, treasurer. This association secured subscriptions and erected
a beautiful bronze statue on the exposition grounds, which later was
transferred to a prominent place in the city park.
