Sacagawea played a very important role in the success of the expedition, not as a guide as she’s been described, but rather as a person who could read the landscape fairly well. She could read the rivers the valleys. She had a sense of what the landscapes said about direction, where they were, and where they were going. She also had a sense of what could be eaten along the way as well as finding food. Her service as an interpreter proved invaluable when she negotiated with the Shoshone for horses. Without those horses, who knows what would have happened to the expedition.
