"""On 20 November 1805 William Clark wrote in his journal, """"…one of the Indians had on a roab made of 2 Sea Otter Skins the fur of them were more butiful than any fur I had ever seen. Both Capt. Lewis and my Self endeavored to purchase the roab with different articles. At length we procured it for a belt of blue beads which [Sacagawea] wore around her waste."""" The scene depicted above is from a painting by Newman Myrah entitled """"Bartering Blue Beads for Otter Robe""""."""
