Duke Friedrich Paul Wilhelm von Württemberg (aka Paul Herzog von Württemberg) (1797-1860) was the nephew of Frederick I of Württemberg. He spent time exploring the American West and met the son of Sacajawea, Jean Baptiste Charbonneau.

After his initial meeting with Jean Baptiste Charbonneau in 1823 at the Kaw (Kansas) River, likely arranged by William Clark, Wilhelm left camp and headed north with plains veteran Toussaint Charbonneau, Jean Baptiste's father, hired as an interpreter. The Duke’s party spent five months in the upper Missouri country visiting trading forts, tribes and collecting scientific data.
