A Name of Her Own (Tender Ties, Bk 1)


An excellent historical novel based on a true story of a Native American woman, married to a 1/2 French, 1/2 Native American Interpreter who accompanied others o find a shorter way to the Oregon city of ?Astoria where they planned to ship furs to China. The expedition was funded by John Jacob Astor, and their group was called the Astorians. Plenty of adventure, stealth, sorrow and pathos. This woman, Marie, even meets Sacajawea and is befriended by her.
