FEATURED WEB SITE

Think you have trouble spelling "Sacagawea"? This week's featured web page is from the official Lewis and Clark Expedition web site. It gives some historical background on the subject of the new U.S. dollar coin, and the woman's name, which is found spelled at least fourteen different ways in the explorers' original manuscript journals. "Although their flair for inspired spelling created some interesting variations, in every instance, including three additional spellings on Clark’s maps, all three of the journalists who attempted to write it were consistent in the use of a "g" in the third syllable."
