Sacajawea did not fall in love with Meriwether Lewis or William Clark. She was a Shoshone woman whom Toussaint Charbonneau, a French Canadian trapper, acquired from a Hidatsa warrior and they were married. Sacagawea was 16 or 17 when she and her husband joined the Lewis and Clark party in the winter of 1804-05. However, she would give birth during the expedition to Jean-Baptiste Charbonneau on February 11, 1805, whom Clark later raised and educated. Lewis and Clark both cared for Sacajawea as a friend and comrade, she was very valuable as a guide and they had a very high respect for her.
