Historical Figure
Jean Baptiste Charbonneau
Jean Baptiste Charbonneau, nicknamed "Pomp" or "Little Pomp" by William Clark, was born to Sacagawea and Toussaint Charbonneau at Fort Mandan on February 11, 1805, just two months before the expedition departed westward. He is the youngest known member of the Lewis and Clark Expedition, having been carried by his mother across the Rocky Mountains, down the Columbia River, and to the Pacific Ocean as an infant. After the expedition, William Clark took a personal interest in his education, and Jean Baptiste later traveled to Europe with Prince Paul of Württemberg, becoming fluent in English, French, German, and Spanish.
