Gazella,
Your mention of Sacagawea and Lewis & Clark reminded me of Undaunted Courage, by Stephen Ambrose. It's the only book I've read about the expedition, but I greatly enjoyed it.
You've probably heard of Stephen Ambrose in connection with his World War II books - especially Band of Brothers and D-Day 6th June 1944. But he's written several on native American history, including a "parallel lives" work on Crazy Horse and Custer (which I haven't read yet). I also enjoyed his Nothing Like it in the World, about the building of the transcontinental railway.
Mike
