08 - TWO KIDNAPPED GIRLS WHO CHANGED HISTORY | Sacajawea & Sally (Shoshoni Explorers) | American West

Wondering if there is a way to make a difference when you are "just one person"?   In today's episode we discuss two incredible Shoshoni teenage girls who, despite difficult circumstances, made a BIG impact on our developing country...   Sacajawea and Sally were trailblazers who helped save, and build, this great nation.   Sacajawea is well known for joining and protecting the Lewis and Clark Expedition (1803-1806) as they explored the vast and unknown American West.   Sally is lesser known, but every bit the hero, helping open the primitive West, protecting the downtrodden and struggling, trying to bring her people, the Shoshoni, and the newly arriving whites, together in peace.   Along with her husband, the mountain man Elijah Ward, she was successful, though she dedicated her life to serving others and trying to stop the seemingly inevitable wars that ended up taking many lives, both Indian and white, including—tragically—the life of her husband, Elijah.   In the end, Sacajawea and Sally provided an eternal example proving what must be done if Americans hope to live in peace, to prosper and cooperate, and to help set a worthy example for our troubled world.   We need these great women and their inspiring stories, now more than ever!   I’m Rick Robison, and this is the HEROES FOR FREEDOM Podcast.     **Want more incredible stories like these for your home??** ---> HEROES FOR FREEDOM MANUALS (Volumes 1-3) - Purchase on Amazon!   ADDITIONAL RESOURCES: -Join our newsletter and get a free gift! - Click Here -Contact us at: [email protected] -Website: www.TheLegacyGen.com -Find our video episodes on YouTube
