Schroer, Blanche M., 1907-1998.

Schroer was a historian of the American West and was a recognized, though controversial, authority on the history of Sacajawea and the Lewis and Clark Expedition. She challenged the beliefs of Grace Raymond Hebard and the native Shoshone tribe that Sacajawea lived into old age and was buried in Wyoming. Schroer favored the theory that Sacajawea died in her mid-twenties. A prolific writer, Blanche M. Schroer received a Western Writers of America Spur Award and also did research on the life of Butch Cassidy and Josephine Baldwin.
