The paitings are beautiful in this book and the story is very moving. I also wondered why the author chose to portray inaccuracies in the book. I'm sure she knew the story of Lewis and Clark and decided to tell the story which highlighted her theme. I don't think York's desire to be free was ever clearly stated but I don't know that for sure.

This is a wonderful sorce of information with a powerful storyline in the content area of American History. It deals with issues of slavery and longing to be free. An African- American slave by the name of York feels loyal to his master yet desires a life of his own. As a classroom teacher this is a for sure book choice for my classroom in teaching history to students. I highly recommend it to others.
