  Jean Baptiste Charbonneau - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jean Baptiste Charbonneau (February 11, 1805 – May 16, 1866) was the son of Sacagawea and her French Canadian husband Toussaint Charbonneau, born while they were members of the Lewis and Clark Expedition; expedition co-leader William Clark nicknamed him Pomp or Pompy.
At the age of 18, Charbonneau met Prince Paul Wilhelm of Württemberg, nephew of King Fredrick I.
Charbonneau then got caught up in the California gold rush sweeping the state, and joined thousands of other "49ers" in Placer County.

However, because Jean Baptiste was not yet weaned, it was decided that the boy’s parents would bring him to Clark at a later date.
Baptiste enjoyed the royal lifestyle for six years, becoming fluent in four languages, and gaining a background that later would mark him as a cultural anomaly on the western frontier.
Enroute, Jean Baptiste, at the age of 61, died of pneumonia and was buried in a remote, primitive cemetery in the tiny Jordan Valley hamlet of Danner, Oregon.

Newborn Jean Baptiste Charbonneau, son of Sacagawea and Toussaint Charbonneau, accompanied his parents on the Lewis and Clark Expedition.
Baptiste befriended the governor of California, briefly held a political position at a mission until he could no longer abide the poor treatment of the Indian laborers; then he settled in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada mountains.
Although Tinling describes Baptiste as a many faceted character (i.e., he commanded respect, spoke several languages, could be cultured as well as enjoy a good brawl), the major theme appears based on legend and hearsay, rather than fact.
