  Toussaint Charbonneau - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Charbonneau was born in Boucherville, Quebec (near Montréal), a community with strong links to exploration and the fur trade.
During the winter, Charbonneau communicated with members of the North West Company, and brought information back to Lewis' and Clark's company (during this period the situation between Britain and the United States was tense, and the group was concerned about how the British presence in the area would affect their group).
Charbonneau's and Sacagawea's son Jean Baptiste was born during the winter at the fort, on February 11, 1805.

Charbonneau knew how critical Sacagawea would be to Lewis and Clark when dealing with the Shoshone, so he attempted to dictate the terms of his employment.
Charbonneau was given a voucher in the sum of $500.33, his payment for his interpreter duties and “public services,” plus the price of a horse and lodge.
Toussaint was not suited to tilling the soil, and, moreover, both he and Sacagawea longed to return to their former lives on the upper Missouri.

Charbonneau has been traced by historians through a kaleidoscope of famous personages with whom the famous trader, guide, and interpreter came into contact during his lifetime.
His father, Toussaint Charbonneau, born of French-Canadian parents in 1758, began a career in 1793 as an engagé of the Northwest Fur Company, serving as a trader at Pine Fort on the Assimboine River.
Late in 1846, Charbonneau advised Cooke of a route "different in part, and further than that taken by the general (Kearny), viz: to descend the river further and fall into a road from El Paso to the mines." Apparently Charbonneau was aware that Kearney had ordered Cooke to locate a wagon road.

There, she was later sold as a slave to Toussaint Charbonneau, a French-Canadian fur trader who claimed Sacagawea and another Shoshone woman as his “wives.” In November 1804, the Corps of Discovery arrived at the Hidatsa-Mandan villages and soon built a fort nearby.
As Clark explained in his journals, Charbonneau was hired “as an interpreter through his wife.” If and when the expedition met the Shoshones, Sacagawea would talk with them, then translate to Hidatsa for Charbonneau, who would translate to French.
Then, through their intepreting chain of the captains, Labiche, Charbonneau, and Sacagawea, the expedition was able to purchase the horses it needed.

Charbonneau agreed but with the stipulation that it would occur a year later when Jean-Baptiste would be old enough to leave his mother.

Lewis and Clark knew Charbonneau was married to a Shoshone indian girl named Sacajawea, which meant that they could use her to get horses to and as an Indian translator.
Charbonneau knew how important Sacajawea would be to Lewis and Clark when dealing with the Shoshone, so Charbonneau tried very hard to set the the terms of his employment.
Charbonneau was given $500.33 for all of his duties on the expedition.

 Interpreters With Lewis and Clark: The Story of Sacagawea and Toussaint Charbonneau   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-08-27)
This is the story of Toussaint Charbonneau, a French Canadian fur trader, and his Shoshone wife, Sacagawea, who both joined the Lewis and Clark expedition in 1804 as interpreters and guides.
Sacagawea has become a near-legendary figure for her role on the expedition, but Toussaint's contribution largely has been overlooked--Lewis himself called him "a man of no peculiar merit." Now W. Dale Nelson offers a frank and honest portrayal of Toussaint, showing that his contributions as interpreter and guide were just as valuable as Sacagawea's help.
Interpreters With Lewis And Clark: The Story Of Sacagawea And Toussaint Charbonneau by journalist and historian W. Dale Nelson is an informed and informative documented study of the lives of two prominent figures in Western history, Sacagawea and her husband, and their role in the near-legendary Lewis and Clark expedition of 1803.
